I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'laureate's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'wiles manipulated with delicacy' is the wordplay.
'manipulated with' indicates an anagram.
'wiles' mixed up with 'delicacy' makes 'CECIL DAY-LEWIS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cecil day lewis that I've seen is " Poet".)
