I don’t know what I love most about this story from Britain. British prisoners are outraged because a fellow prisoner won second prize in a poetry contest by entering a Philip Larkin poem as his own. The prisoners are mad, the judge didn’t recognize it as a Larkin poem, and Larkin only came in second in the contest. So awesome.
