it was shippo

Ixion,

Nice one and many thanks. Never heard of Empson, I'll have to look deeper.

Cheers

Hi PezBuin - I'm sorry I missed your earlier request directed to me - I've been in front of the other box! You seem to have all the poets now - I'd never heard of Empson either - found him on a list. Hope you've got the lot.

Only one clue left and would love to finish it:
18A Black as the one who was jailed in America?
(-R-S- B-R-N)
And could you please explain why - I'm fairly new to cryptic puzzles!
Many thanks

I'm stuck on 4d "Bring this if last to rise" (6). So far I've got ?P?E?R...

Any help would be much appreciated!

bring up rear

Thanks AJT!

I did think of UP REAR but as two words not one - must use the dictionary more to check these things out...

I made that one "Press Baron" (referring to Conrad Black). I don't know if there is any clever wordplay. I think it's just a tongue in cheek definition.

Thanks David - I see what you mean!
