I believe the answer is:

discard

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

'scrap' is the definition.
(scrap can mean to discard)

'recording by poet when book is withdrawn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'recording' could be 'disc' (disc is a kind of recording) and 'disc' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ard' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discard that I've seen before include "Throw away or cast off" , "Get rid of" , "Jettison" , "bin" , "Shed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
