After Louis heard that David Lee had promised that he would try his best to recommend Kevin to the British Poetry Association, he hung up the phone in relief. (Baidu search gives you the fastest and most stable update of Literary Network) . . .

David Lee didn't procrastinate, knowing that the association has recently been electing the poet laureate. So, after hanging up the phone with Louis, he called Kevin, planning to talk to him and learn about Kevin by the way.

"What? Dear Mr. David Lee, you want me to run for poet laureate?" Kevin asked in surprise.

With this memory of Kevin, he naturally knows what the poet laureate means in the English literary world. Although the money for this title is not much, the treatment is completely different. Think about how many poet laureate's works have been promoted globally, and many leaders in the West often like to add the poet laureate's works when they read their manuscripts.

The most recent example is that the poet Elizabeth Alexander recited the poem they commissioned the poet laureate to complete at the inauguration ceremony of US President Barack Obama-"Hymn of the Day".

Therefore, Kevin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that David Lee was going to choose him to compete for this title. Because it's something he never thought about.

"Yes, Louis called me today, and he also thinks that you have this ability. You must know that your "Anthology of All Beings" is so excellent. It is enough to prove that you have the ability of the poet laureate." David. Li said with certainty.

"But I'm just a newcomer in poetry. To put it bluntly, apart from the previous few poems and this collection of poems, I haven't achieved much." Kevin said modestly.

"No, Kevin, your "The Collection of All Beings" is already excellent enough. May I ask, which modern poet's new work can be reprinted three times in a month? And which poet's work can attract so much attention? Besides, the selection criteria for the poet laureate is not how long he has been writing poems, but his talent in writing poems. You have made many people unable to achieve this point." David Lee said.

"Okay, then thank you Mr. David Li for your recommendation. I will work harder to create because of this."

"Well. I will submit your information to the association tomorrow. You can send me your resume later."

After David Lee received Kevin's information, he took it to the British Poetry Association and submitted it. The address of the British Poetry Society is at No. 22 Betterton Street in London, which is a certain distance from David Lee's residence.

Therefore, David Lee arrived at the location after driving for about an hour.

When he submitted Kevin's name, the other members looked at him in amazement.

"David Lee, are you sure you want to recommend Kevin? You must know that he is a newcomer, and he has not written many poems. You can definitely recommend Gretel. You must know that Gretel is a prestigious British poet." Among them A member of the British Poetry Society said.

The Gretel he was talking about was a famous British poet. A writer, but also one of the nobles. The most important thing is that he has known David Lee for many years. Just when this year's election campaign begins. Many people thought he would recommend Gretel. After all, Gretel is already well-known in the British poetry circle. Therefore, when David Lee submitted Kevin's information, they had to be surprised.

"Yes, Li, you can definitely recommend other poets. You must know that there are a lot of old British poets. Although Kevin is very famous, he is still young after all."

"David Lee, you admire Kevin very much. We all know this. But as they said, I always feel that Kevin is a little younger. Maybe he doesn't have enough advantages in this election for the poet laureate .”

"I haven't read Kevin's poems. However, he has become very famous recently. David Lee wouldn't recommend him just because of these."

"Dear David Lee, Kevin is too young, maybe you shouldn't waste a recommendation spot. After all, even if Gretel doesn't meet your recommendation criteria, Luni, and Sanka, each of them is Great British poets. You could be one of them."

Other colleagues were also puzzled and surprised that David Lee recommended a newcomer to run for the title of poet laureate.

David Lee also thought that they would behave like this after seeing the information he recommended Kevin, so he said at this time: "Everyone. Kevin is a newcomer in poetry, I admit it. But he wrote His poems are very good, such as his recently published "The Collection of All Beings", the poems in it are all perfect. I also brought a copy here, if you have time, you can read it. Maybe. When you finish reading it , you will understand what a genius poet is.”

David Lee is full of confidence in this "Anthology of All Beings". He believes that when they see the content of the poems in it, they will finally understand why he recommended Kevin for the title of poet laureate.

"Well, since you insist on recommending Kevin to run for the title of poet laureate, we will naturally respect your intention. I hope, God will bless him as always."

On the surface. They said so, but no one in their hearts would be optimistic that Kevin could stand out in the competition for the title of poet laureate. After all, this is the most advanced campaign in the British poetry world. It must be talented, but also has a certain readership and identity, which is beyond the reach of other so-called literary competitions.

Yes, they also admit that recently Kevin has stolen the limelight in the literary world, and even his sales have shocked the British literary world several times. However, which writer and poet has not had a smashing moment? Now he is going to run against all kinds of great British poets. As a newcomer, he obviously has insufficient advantages.

After David Lee submitted the recommendation materials, he stayed in the British Poetry Association for more than 2 hours before driving back home again. This election campaign will take a few more days, so he is not in a hurry to wait for the result.

After David Lee returned home, he made a cup of tea and drank a few sips, then tweeted about the matter: I hope Kevin can stand out in the poet laureate campaign and become the new British poet laureate.

The content of this tweet by David Lee has clearly told everyone that Kevin was recommended by him to be among the poet laureate of this campaign.

This news undoubtedly caused Kevin to be involved in the upsurge of comments again, and many people showed surprise on their faces. Especially those young poets, although they know that Britain has such a title of poet laureate, but as newcomers, they never dare to think about it.

But now Kevin was nominated by David Lee, which was unprecedented! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
