Question: Who was an English poet: Philip Larkin or Lincoln Steffens?
Context: Organized crime in Minneapolis first attracted national attention in 1903, when thug and mayor Doc Ames (1842-1911) was exposed by Lincoln Steffens in the book "The Shame of the Cities".  Steffens's account and subsequent trials revealed a police department recruited from felons shaking down the Minneapolis underworld on the mayor's behalf.  Ames later fled the state, spending a short period as a fugitive before being arrested and extradited to Minnesota.  He was convicted of receiving a bribe and sentenced to six years in prison.  His sentence was later appealed and overturned. High Windows is a collection of poems by English poet Philip Larkin, and was published in 1974 by Faber and Faber Limited.  The readily available paperback version was first published in Britain in 1979.  The collection is the last publication of new poetry by Larkin before his death in 1985, and it contains some of his most famous poems, including the title piece, "High Windows", "Dublinesque", and "This Be The Verse".  The collection contains themes presented in his earlier collections, though the tone of the poems caused critics to suggest the book is darker and more "socially engaged" than his earlier volumes. Lincoln Joseph Steffens (April 6, 1866 – August 9, 1936) was a New York reporter who launched a series of articles in "McClure's", called "Tweed Days in St. Louis", that would later be published together in a book titled "The Shame of the Cities".  He is remembered for investigating corruption in municipal government in American cities and for his early support for the Soviet Union. Larkin at Sixty (1982) is a collection of original essays and poems published to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of the English poet Philip Larkin.  It was edited and introduced by Anthony Thwaite and published by Larkin's publishers, Faber and Faber.  A poetic dramatisation of the launch of the book was written by Russell Davies. Philip Arthur Larkin (9 August 1922 – 2 December 1985) was an English poet, novelist and librarian.  His first book of poetry, "The North Ship", was published in 1945, followed by two novels, "Jill" (1946) and "A Girl in Winter" (1947), and he came to prominence in 1955 with the publication of his second collection of poems, "The Less Deceived", followed by "The Whitsun Weddings" (1964) and "High Windows" (1974).  He contributed to "The Daily Telegraph" as its jazz critic from 1961 to 1971, articles gathered in "All What Jazz: A Record Diary 1961–71" (1985), and he edited "The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse" (1973).  His many honours include the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.  He was offered, but declined, the position of Poet Laureate in 1984, following the death of Sir John Betjeman. Throughout the life of the poet Philip Larkin a number of women had important roles which were notable influences on his poetry.  Since Larkin's death biographers have highlighted the importance of female relationships on Larkin: when Andrew Motion's biography was serialised in the Independent in 1993, the second instalment of extracts was dedicated to the topic.  In 1999 Ben Brown's play "Larkin with Women" dramatised Larkin's relationships with three of his lovers, and more recently writers such as Martin Amis have continued to comment on this subject. "This Be The Verse" is a lyric poem in three verses of four iambic tetrameter on an alternating rhyme scheme, by the English poet Philip Larkin (1922–1985).  It was written around April 1971, first published in the August 1971 issue of "New Humanist", and appeared in the 1974 collection "High Windows". "The Whitsun Weddings", read here by Larkin himself, is one of the best known poems by British poet Philip Larkin.  It was written and rewritten and finally published in the 1964 collection of poems, also called The Whitsun Weddings.  It is one of three poems that Larkin wrote about train journeys. The Shame of the Cities is a book written by American author Lincoln Steffens.  Published in 1904, it is a collection of articles which Steffens had written for "McClure’s Magazine".  It reports on the workings of corrupt political machines in several major U.S. cities, along with a few efforts to combat them.  It is considered one of several early major pieces of muckraking journalism, though Steffens later claimed that this work made him "the first muckraker." The Selected Letters of Philip Larkin, 1940–1985 is a volume of Philip Larkin's personal correspondence, compiled by Anthony Thwaite, one of Larkin's literary executors, and published in 1992 by Faber and Faber, seven years after Larkin's death.  It was followed a year later by "Philip Larkin: A Writer's Life", Larkin's official biography, written by Andrew Motion, Larkin's other literary executor.
