I have to admit I hadn’t noticed that the extra words were related to each poet’s work – nice touch! It was a frantic week, and I’m afraid I wasn’t able to give this the full attention it deserved…

The PATINAS wordplay is PINATAS with ‘IN’ shifted – you are correct on your parsing of NASH and MONTALE.
I’m sure you noticed (but didn’t mention) the fact that all extra words in the poet clues are not just a distraction – all are extracts from the poet’s work quoted in ODQ7 – I gather that some people did find this to be a way into the thematic stuff.
This was a nice one to set, and a voyage of discovery and rediscovery – I hope that others found it as enjoyable to solve. Thanks again
Nudd
