Spectator # 2475

[Matakari]

Seem to be on the homestretch now that I've got the author, the poem and the ten words in place, but am still puzzled by a few clues. Thanks for last set of help!

DOWN:
7 Hollow Leo scrunched tissue (6) : ?IP??E ( Thought "NIPPLE" ), BUT THEN
19(A) 19 Drink last short (5) : LATTE seems to cancel this.
41 Fine noise from Alderney institute (4) : ?OOI
33 Welsh river obstructs second unknown creature (6, two words) : M?SKO? ( MUSK OX ) ?

[fiction-factory]

latte(r) looks okay. What would that give you for 7? (dimple?)

[fiction-factory]

dipole

[fiction-factory]

DIP (hollow) + anag of LEO.
Not sure what dipole means though

[aelmpvw]

33 usk = river
mo = second
x = unknown

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I know the physics meaning but can't see where tissue fits in

[aelmpvw]

musk ox = creature

[shaneystar2]

hollow (dip) leo (scrunched) = diploe (tissue)
41 Mooi
Yes musk ox

[fiction-factory]

Ah, thanks for diploe- right letters but not necessarily in the right order. (I thought DIPLOE was a music producer)

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, glad you made it over the finishing line!

[Matakari]

Thanks, Neveracrossword, Fiction-factory and Aelmpvw, I made it over the finishing line, albeit panting, but having learnt a great deal again! Have a wonderful week-end!
