I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'writer' is the definition.
(I know that Dante Alighieri has the occupation poet)

'rage in the iliad distressed' is the wordplay.
'distressed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rage'+'in'+'the'+'iliad'='rageintheiliad'
'rageintheiliad' is an anagram of 'DANTE ALIGHIERI'.

'divinely comedic' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
