Poetic land of suffering (4)
I believe the answer is:
erin
'poetic land' is the definition.
'erin' can be an answer for 'land' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'poetic' bit.
'of suffering' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ERIN' can be found hidden inside 'suffering'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for erin that I've seen before include "Let ... Remember (song)" , "Literary term for Ireland" , "that faces Atlantic" , "country" , "Land" .)
