Phoenix Final

[starmack]

Stuck on final clue Phoenix crossword.

7 letters. Yeats and Heaney embrace Chaucer and Keats starting in pants, but never in knickers.
P?C?E?S

Pockets

Poets round C(haucer) K(eats)

[starmack]

Much appreciated.

[Mamyalynne]

You're welcome

[vetuste_ennemi]

Could parse as po(C..K..)ets, but don't get the def.

[Mamyalynne]

in pants, but never in knickers - but that's not strictly true

[vetuste_ennemi]

Is it an American crossword, Starmack/Mamya?

[Mamyalynne]

Phoenix Magazine is a British publication if that's where this is from,

I took 'pants' to be trousers and 'knickers' to be underwear.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Ditto... eventually, Mamya.
