Regularly suppressing anger round a poet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neruda

'poet' is the definition.
(poet Pablo Neruda)

'regularly suppressing anger round a' is the wordplay.
'regularly suppressing' means one should take alternating letters.
'anger'+'round'='angerround'
The alternating letters of 'angerround' are 'nerud'.
'nerud'+'a'='NERUDA'

(Other definitions for neruda that I've seen before include "S American poet" , "Pablo --, Chilean poet and politician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
