Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 234 His poetry won everything

After the host finished speaking, David Lee first introduced to everyone why he recommended Kevin to participate in this Poet Laureate campaign. net

David Lee picked up the microphone and said: "Yes, many people will be curious about why I chose to recommend Kevin. But I don't think that when you read his poems, you won't be ashamed of my poems. Surprised by the behavior."

"Dear Mr. David Lee, according to your point of view, do you think Kevin's poems are better than others?" asked a reporter below.

"Yes, I have never seen a person who can write poetry so well. Every poem in his "All Living Beings" is close to perfection. Please listen carefully, it is each one, not one or two of them, More than a dozen." David Li seriously reminded.

"Then did you ever think that Kevin, as a newcomer, would be qualified to compete with other well-known opponents in the British poetry circle?" the reporter continued to ask.

"I am full of confidence in his poetry. I think his poetry has won this honor. Thank you." David Lee said confidently.

After David Lee's introduction, the next step is for Randolph Orm to explain to everyone why the judges decided on Kevin as the poet laureate.

"Hi everyone, I'm Randolph Orm. Yes, I'm that out-and-out poetry fan. Here, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to come and participate in our press conference. I am not the first Participated once. After all, before this, the British Poetry Association has held several times." Randolph Orm said after taking the microphone.

"Then, respected Mr. Randolph Orm, can you explain why you chose Kevin when facing so many excellent poets?" asked the reporter in the audience.

"The ten poets this time, they are all very good. Especially York Rutland, he received the highest number of support votes, and he is a nobleman himself. But we finally chose Kevin. There is only one reason ----His poetry conquered us." Randolph Orm explained.

"The answer we got from David Lee and your answer just now is that Kevin's poems are very good. But we also learned that Kevin is not a royal nobleman. I remember that the poet laureate in the past It was obtained by the noble poets of the royal family." The reporter continued to ask.

"As for the royal family and nobility, it is only one of the selection criteria. In our history, there have been many poets who were not royal nobles but won this honor. They are all very good. And the poet laureate is measured by the poet's ability to write poetry , not his identity and age." Randolph Orm continued to explain.

"The respected Mr. Randolph Orm,

How do you evaluate Kevin's poetry? "

"That's great, before the answer is confirmed. We have all read his "All Beings Collection", and we all agree that this collection of poems is enough to prove his ability to write poems. And this is in line with Our selection criteria. So, this is why we chose Kevin as the poet laureate this time."

"Perhaps friends who haven't seen Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" can try to read it, and then you will understand why we chose Kevin." Randolph Orm said again.

The reporters were quite satisfied with Randolph Orm's explanation. After all, some of them have also read Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings", so they naturally know the excellence of this collection of poems.

"Then, dear Mr. Randolph Orm, Kevin is only in his 20s now, what height do you think his future will reach?" The reporters continued to ask.

Randolph Orm thought for a while, and then said: "I think his literary path must be bright, and he has shown extraordinary talent. Maybe there will be a Nobel Prize for him. We are deeply I believe he will bring English literature to a different level---this is one of the important reasons why we chose him."

After Randolph Orm finished speaking, the reporters in the audience applauded enthusiastically. Especially those who have seen Kevin's work, they are all very excited at this time. Because as Randolph Orm said. Kevin has the ability to take English literature to a different level.

Randolph Orm's purpose this time is just to explain why the British Poetry Association and the judging panel chose Kevin as the poet laureate this time, and now the explanation is over. His task is also completed. But the press conference didn't end there. They took this opportunity to interview Kevin live.

"Mr. Kevin, hello, may we take this opportunity to ask you a few questions?" A girl with curly hair stood up and said.

Seeing this, the staff also handed the microphone to Kevin. Kevin took the microphone and said with a smile: "Beautiful lady, of course. I am happy to take your questions."

"Thank you, Mr. Kevin, what do you think about winning the highest honorary title in the British poetry world?"

"When I received the news that I had won such an honor, I was stunned. Yes. As a writer and poet, everyone wants to win such an honor, so I am naturally happy in my heart. This time ten Poets, I have known them all. They are all very good. Very good. So, I think God has blessed me, and then I accidentally won the title of poet laureate." Kevin said.

"So what do you have to say about that?"

Kevin paused for a few seconds, then said, "Thank God, thank you readers. Maybe that's all I want to say right now."

After Kevin finished speaking, there was another warm applause from the audience. Yes. What people hear Kevin say the most is the four words "thank you readers". No matter what honor he has won, he always thinks of his readers first. This is a writer poet with a conscience. Therefore, the applause just now was given to such a conscientious writer and poet.

The purpose of this press conference is just to explain to the major media why the judges chose Kevin as the poet laureate. Therefore, the time they plan to spend at this press conference is not very long. After the media reporters asked Kevin a few more questions, the press conference was officially over.

After the press conference, the celebration banquet has almost begun. In order not to waste time, Kevin, David Lee, Randolph Orm and others took a rest in the hotel, and then rushed directly to the celebration banquet.

Poet Laureate is the highest honorary title in the British poetry world, so many celebrities and authoritative figures in the British literary world are invited to the celebration banquet every year. It is precisely because of this that the poet laureate celebration banquet is also called the highest-level party in British literature, because the writers and poets who can come to the scene all have a certain status and reputation in the British literary world.

When Kevin first walked into the venue, he met two familiar faces. They were Curry and Santos. Although the two rarely involved in poetry genres, their influence in English literature is huge, so they were invited to this banquet this time.

"Hi! Kevin, congratulations. Look, the beautiful lights and everything are prepared for you tonight. You really did not live up to our expectations of you." Curry said happily.

"Yeah, Kevin, when I was reviewing your manuscript for the 7th London Literary Competition, I knew that your talent was so different. Now it seems that all this is true. You not only write novels Excellent, writing poetry agrees." Santos directly gave Kevin a thumbs up.

"Thank you for your praise, I just did what I should do. As for the result, I think God has the final say." Kevin said modestly.

"Haha, what a god has the final say. Even your tone of voice is different from others. You are well-deserved poet laureate." Santos said with a smile.

The two have been paying attention to everything about this young man since Kevin first entered the literary world. In other words, they watched Kevin's works being published, questioned, and then sold, thus gaining support and love. . At this time, they have already seen the shadow of Wen Hao from Kevin.

They also deeply believe that Kevin will go further and further on the road of literature.

Since they still followed David Lee and others into the table, Kevin and Curry Santos chatted for a while before leaving. Anyway, they are all here tonight, and there are plenty of opportunities to chat.

Although tonight's star is Kevin, the other nine poets who are in the Poet Laureate campaign have been invited. This is the habit of their organizers in the past, and this time will naturally be no exception.

J's father, York Rutland, was a popular candidate for the poet laureate, and the whole family thought that York would get the title. But when the results came out, they were very disappointed. Therefore, the lost York Rutland did not come to tonight's banquet.

When Kevin appeared in front of these nine poets, they were all very surprised. Yes, they only heard that Kevin was young, but they didn't expect him to have such an immature face.

My God, how could I lose to such a young man? Could it be that he really got the grace of God? Perhaps at this moment their inner world can only sigh like this.

Kevin sat at a table with David Lee, Randolph Orm and others, and the other eight poets and family members who came to the banquet site made a table. Of course, it is not easy to be recommended to run for poet laureate. Therefore, these eight people are also enjoying the distinguished service, and their tables are only next to Kevin. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
