Michael Derrick Hudson
Okay kiddo, so there's a man named Michael Derrick Hudson who wanted to get his poems published in a really important book called "Best American Poetry". But he was worried that the people who pick which poems get in might not like him because he's a white man. So, instead of using his own name, he submitted his poems under a fake name - Yi-Fen Chou - and lied about being a Chinese-American.
The people who picked the poems didn't know that Yi-Fen Chou was really Michael Derrick Hudson, so they read his poems and liked them enough to pick them for the book. When they found out that Yi-Fen Chou wasn't a real person, they got pretty upset because they thought Michael was pretending to be someone else just to get attention and get his poems published.
Some people thought what Michael did was really sneaky and dishonest, while others thought it was just a way for him to get a fair chance at being published. Either way, it caused a big debate about whether it's okay to use a fake name and pretend to be someone else just to get ahead.
