I am attempting to write novel. Character is loosely based on real-life Poet who lived and died in foreign country (b. 1919, d. 2005).

I would like this Character to create same poem this real-life Poet created, and write it in the novel.

How to reflect in Manuscript that this Poem is from deceased Poet?

Plagiarism is using the work of others, without saying you did. So to avoid plagiarism and honor the original author, you could say that the poem is written by him/her in the afterword. Maybe add a short obituary.

In a scientific paper a footnote would be adequate, but in a novel this would break the reading flow.
