Repository of many an obscure poet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depot

'repository' is the definition.
(I know that depot is a type of repository)

'many an obscure poet' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'd'.
'an obscure' indicates an anagram.
'poet' with letters rearranged gives 'epot'.
'd'+'epot'='DEPOT'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for depot that I've seen before include "Supply base" , "Storage base" , "Toped (anag.)" , "Headquarters - storehouse" , "Store for large quantities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
