I have one wrong and I think it is 2 down: Emily Dickinson's confiding prodigal (6)
I entered ORIOLE, because the checked letters matched O?I??E and she wrote a poem about an oriole.
It seems to me to be the only one I'm not sure about. Any explanation appreciated.

One of the ones that Midas touched,
Who failed to touch us all,
Was that confiding prodigal,
The blissful oriole.

13a Unhappy Lear gets flowers from author of Cordial(4,6)
I have E*R*/***E*S
That should complete it.

13a EARL RIVERS.

So if oriole was right I am wondering which one was wrong now.

[dannyk13]

Do Earl Rivers & oriole Clash?

[frameshift]

No. Earl Rivers is not on the same line as 2 down.

[dannyk13]

Then where do you think you have gone wrong?

[factor-fiction]

I don't follow this, frameshift.
Oriole fits the pattern you gave- so I'm not sure what the problem is?

[frameshift]

The only one I'm not absolutely sure of are 5 down and 19 down.
5d Part of church where we may bring forth creativity (7) I?SP?R?E INSPIRE
19d Novelist no doubt calm, following storm (7) ?A?ES?N
I had JAMESON, because there was novelist called Storm Jameson, but I couldn't see where the storm came from.

[frameshift]

Sorry, I meant I couldn't see where the 'calm' came from.

[dannyk13]

Saying 'The calm after the storm'?

Thank you for Earl Rivers!
