Mark Hoffman's Prison Poetry

So I'm in the middle of reading Salamander:The Mormon Forgery Murders. I google an article from a Deseret News 2005 article, the aftermath 20 years later. He has become something of a celebrity, to the point where forged signatures of Joseph Smith by Hoffman are worth something of themselves. I thought that interesting. He wrote this poem in prison that I'd like to share:

"I believe(and I know I'm right), that the Book of Mormon best sheds it light at four-fifty one degrees Fahrenheit."

Haha, not really- Hoffman reversed the words. Bradbury's novel was Fahrenheit 451.
They both just have a fascination with the ignition point of paper.

Re: Mark Hoffman's Prison Poetry

Or was the poetry forged by another prisoner?
