Poet who was guided through paradise by Beatrice (5)

I believe the answer is:

dante

(Other definitions for dante that I've seen before include "Finally stand before" , "La divina commedia poet" , "Poet inspired by Beatrice" , "Author of the Divine Comedy, d. 1321" , "Italian poet, writer of the Divine Comedy" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
