I'm stuck on the last clue:

24ac Parrot one poet, init­ially, or another (5)

K?A?S

There is an obvious poetic answer but I can't parse it. Any nudges in the right direction gratefully received.

The parrot is from New Zealand; the initially means exactly what it says for one of the poets.

btw, can anyone hint to me how this is parsed (I'm fairly confident that I have the solution)

1a After heart's stolen, snap out of it and divorce (5,2)

I think it's 'snap' with no middle and a two-word phrase meaning 'drunk'

Thanks - yes, "out of it". Very clever.
