FILE - In this Nov. 14, 2007, file photo, Sherman Alexie smiles at the 58th National Book Awards in New York. Alexie is defending his decision to include a poem by a white man writing under a Chinese pen name in the “Best American Poetry” anthology for 2015. Alexie wrote a long blog post over the weekend of Sept. 6, 2015 in which he acknowledged his anger and embarrassment upon learning that Yi-Fen Chou’s “The Bees, the Flowers, Jesus, Ancient Tigers, Poseidon, Adam and Eve” was in fact composed by Michael Derrik Hudson..
