Listener Crossword No 4280 Face Off By Bero

Another rather gentle exercise with easier than normal clues (perhaps perforce) and a not too complex endgame, neatly tieing up all of the thematic material. Will be interesting to see how solvers interpret "identifiably entered" in the preamble. Thanks to BeRo for a brief but nonetheless enjoyable entertainment.

Thought that the grid-fill was relatively easy, though was held up for a while by not realising how the theme word was going to be entered. Thanks BeRo anyway for an introduction to poetry beyond my usual, "There was a young man from Venus..."

Filling the grid was about as easy as it gets. I have the poets, theme and the four features from one poem, but not the other poem with the couplet. I may have to trawl through the relevant part of ODQ. Can anyone tell me if it's there? I don't think that will give anything away to people who haven't solved the basic theme.
Knew it was a bad sign when I rattled through the clues. Then hours staring at the grid in yet another tedious word search looking (in vain) for two probably obscure poets who's names are I guess jumbled and not even in a straight line. Another one for the bin ... If I wanted to do word searches I'd buy a puzzle book. Not impressed.
