Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 229 Poet Laureate

Today is just the members of the jury group exchanging recommendations with each other, and the final result is not yet determined. Baidu searched for GeiLixue.com WwW.GeiLiwx.COM So, after the meeting, the judges also went back to each other.

Due to President Randolph Orm's strong recommendation of "The Collection of All Beings", these people also bought a copy and went back to see what happened after they went back.

But it was just such a casual talk, within ten minutes, their faces were full of surprised expressions.

"My God, I can't believe this is a poem written by a young man in his twenties, it has so much depth."

"I just watched the first one and it was amazing. I didn't expect modern young people to write such perfect poems. Oh my God, I can't help it, I'm already so impressed by his poems I'm fascinated. I'm going to keep watching."

"Today Randolph Orm said that this collection of poems written by Kevin is very good. I can't believe it. Now I have to believe it. This is really a collection of poems that is close to perfection. Although I only read the previous ones A few poems, but each one is so good, it's just wonderful."

"Not bad, really good. I haven't read poetry written by young people for many years. Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" has directly brought modern British poetry to a higher level."

After reading some of the poems in "The Collection of All Living Beings", these people had to sigh similarly to the above. At this time, they finally understood why Randolph Orm strongly recommended Kevin to be the poet laureate.

Two days later is the reconfirmation meeting of the poet laureate, and the result of this confirmation is very critical. Because the votes of any of the judges played a key role.

"Everyone, as I said before, although Kevin is young and not a royal nobleman, his poetic talent can really be called the work of modern British poets. I think he will take British poetry to another level. So. My answer today is still Kevin." Randolph Orm said at the meeting.

This time no one is surprised by Randolph Orm's words, because anyone who has read "All Beings" knows that Kevin's talent is fully worthy of the title of modern poet laureate.

As a result, many people also stood on Randolph Orm's side at this time.

"I also agree with Chairman Aum's opinion.

Kevin is really good at writing poetry. I've been watching it for 2 days. Perhaps he can bring English poetry to the world. "

"I think Randolph Orm's idea is correct. Kevin's poetic talent is really different. I have never seen any poem in a collection of poems that is so good that it is close to perfection. So. I Like Randolph Orm, support Kevin."

"I changed my opinion two days ago. This time I voted for Kevin like Randolph Orm. I think Kevin can get the title of poet laureate."

Of course, although the judges all recognized Kevin's poetic talent, not all of them voted for Kevin. After all, the influence of other poets and their contributions to British poetry are also enormous. Moreover, their poetry status and identities are unmatched by Kevin, so they naturally won some votes from the judges.

It's just that the final result of this selection was that Kevin won the title of Poet Laureate by one vote over York Rutland. This result is undoubtedly something that many people did not expect, so the official website of the British Poetry Association did not announce it immediately. This is also one of their rules:

After the list of poet laureates is determined, they usually choose to announce it 2 days later. The purpose is to allow the judges to have extra time to think. Even if something goes wrong in the middle, they can adjust it in time.

During these two days, none of the judges can disclose the list. If anyone breaks the rules, they will not be qualified to be judges next time.

So at this time, except for the judges who participated in the final review who knew who the poet laureate was, no one else knew. It is also because of this that J, who thought that the poet laureate would be steadily won by his father, has already booked a hotel for the celebration banquet in a local hotel at this time.

Since his father lived in Edinburgh temporarily, j was also in Edinburgh during this time. On this day, he just came back after setting up everything in the hotel. Then I ran into Kevin on the streets of Princes Street.

He had seen Kevin the last time he was in London. So this time, they recognized each other at a glance.

"Hey, isn't this the great writer Mr. Kevin! Oh, Mr. Kevin, good afternoon." There was a slight contempt in J's words.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Kevin said politely.

"Oh, sorry, I still have to prepare for my father's Poet Laureate dinner, so bye."

J said this sentence deliberately to Kevin, the purpose is to tell the other party that his father must have the title of poet laureate this time.

But J didn't know that Kevin didn't feel any discomfort because of his words. The literary boy still had a confident expression on his face.

Nine o'clock two days later. That's when the official Twitter of the British Poetry Society intends to announce the biggest developments in the poetry world this year. Yes, it is decided by negotiation. Today's 9 o'clock is the day when the winner of the title of poet laureate will be announced on time.

"After the unanimous decision of the jury, the honoree of the poet laureate this time is Kevin. Congratulations to Kevin. He created a precedent in the history of our poet laureate. Because before that, we did not have a poet in his twenties. A record for such an honor," the British Poetry Society tweeted.

As soon as this tweet was sent out, it immediately surprised many people. They couldn't believe their eyes, and many of them ran to the bathroom, tried to wash their eyes with water from the tap, and then ran back to the computer to see what happened.

But I'm sorry, no matter how many times they wash their eyes, the content of this tweet sent by the official Twitter of the British Poetry Society at nine o'clock still remains unchanged-Kevin is the poet laureate this time. He performed a miracle.

J was the one who was most surprised and didn't believe this result. He read the content of this tweet several times, and also called the relevant personnel to confirm. But the final result is still that his father did not win the glory of the poet laureate.

Therefore, at this time, J had to be busy with the cancellation of the celebration banquet hotel that had been booked for a while. (to be continued)
