Poet being interrupted by love and later by onset of senility (7)
I believe the answer is:
housman
'poet' is the definition.
(I know that Housman is a poet)
'being interrupted by love and later by onset of senility' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'being' could be 'man' (human being) and 'man' is found within the answer.
'love' could be 'o' (love means zero in tennis) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for housman that I've seen before include "A. E. --, English poet" , "Author of A Shropshire Lad" , "A Shropshire Lad poet" .)
