Nothing in odd bits of lyrics provided by a poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
lorca
'poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'nothing in odd bits of lyrics provided by a' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'odd bits of' indicates alternate letters.
'provided by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
The alternate letters of 'lyrics' are 'lrc'.
'o' placed inside 'lrc' is 'lorc'.
'lorc'+'a'='LORCA'
(Other definitions for lorca that I've seen before include "poet from Spain" , "Federico Garcia -, twentieth century Spanish poet/playwright" , "Playwright" , "Spanish writer" , "Federico Garc'a-, Sp. poet; carol (anag.)" .)
