Subdivision of a poem (5)

I believe the answer is:

canto

(Other definitions for canto that I've seen before include "Division of e.g. Dante's Inferno" , "Section of a long poem" , "Highest part in a piece of choral music -- act on (anag)" , "piece of poetry" , "melodic piece of music" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
