Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 228 Highly Recommended by the President of Poetry

After Bella and the film and television team left Edinburgh, Kevin spent a few days of peace in Edinburgh. www.geiliwx.com In the past few days, the campaign for the title of British Poet Laureate has been going on like a fire. Kevin still ranked second, while York Rutland ranked first.

But even though Kevin has been ranked second in the number of votes for so long, people in the industry are still not optimistic that he can win the title of poet laureate this time. The reason is still the same iron fact that no one under the age of 30 has ever won this award in history.

However, Louis was full of confidence in Kevin getting the title of poet laureate, and now the third reprint of "The Collection of All Beings" has basically been sold out. All he and the Royal Poetry Press were waiting for was the news that Kevin had won the title of poet laureate. As long as Kevin can finally get this title, there is no doubt that they will immediately place an order and print it in large quantities. After all, according to previous years, every time a poet wins the award, his books will sell well for a while.

Kevin was recommended by David Lee. Seeing that Kevin got such a high number of votes, he was finally comforted in his heart. So what if Kevin didn't win the title of poet laureate in the end? His vote numbers have told others that he is so good, he has the support of countless people, and these support numbers are higher than the other eight people.

Today is the last day of voting for the poet laureate. Seeing that his father, York Rutland, is still the first, J and his brother Barnes discussed holding a banquet to celebrate. J's self-confidence comes from his father's superb personality and royal status. These two items are important measures for the selection of the title of poet laureate in previous years, so he is naturally full of confidence.

Although Kevin ranked second, in fact the ten poets had almost the same number of votes, and the bite was very tight. After all, the people who can be recommended to participate in the poet laureate election are not easy, so their supporters are naturally not in the minority.

The Liberty website's "A Clown in the Thames" article still exists. The website people didn't bother to delete the reason. Because they still don't believe that Kevin will play a big role in the election of the highest honorary title in the British poetry world.

In other words, in their eyes, Kevin is still a clown in the Thames.

After the Poet Laureate voting event closes. It is also the day when the final judging panel begins to select. Because it is the highest level of selection in the British poetry field. Therefore, the judging panel is also in charge of senior leaders of the British literary circles. Like the president of the British Poetry Society. The elders of the British literary world and the big figures in the British cultural and educational circles came to serve.

Randolph Orme, as the president of the British Poetry Association,

For the selection of the poet laureate this time, he can be said to have served as the chief judge.

When the polls were over, there was no doubt that he supported Kevin. Because he has read "The Collection of All Beings", he thinks it is the best collection of poems he has read in his lifetime. Many anthologies of poets may have a dozen very good poems, or twenty or so. But Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" is that every poem is very close to perfection.

Such a poet. Even if he is younger, even if he is not a royal nobleman, in terms of his talent for writing poetry, he deserves the title of poet laureate.

So, Randolph Orm voted for Kevin without hesitation. When the other judges saw Randolph Orm's vote, they were all very surprised.

"President, are you sure you did not make a mistake? Do you also support Kevin?"

"Yes! I think the poetry written by Kevin is very good. Therefore, he has the ability to win the title of poet laureate." Randolph Orm explained the reason for his vote.

"But York Rutland has the most votes, and he is a royal nobleman, and his contribution to poetry is not bad. I think you can vote for him. You know. Our British Poetry Association Many of their dues are also sponsored by their royal family."

Yes, the British Poetry Association does not have funds from above like the Huaxia Poetry Association. In many cases, they are sponsored by royal and noble groups who are interested in poetry. This is also the reason why in the early days, the winners could only be poets of the royal family and nobles.

Randolph Orm certainly noticed this. Moreover, he already knew York Rutland, and the two seemed to have a little friendship. But he really couldn't resist the attraction brought to him by "The Collection of All Beings". He felt that the title of poet laureate should be given to an author who wrote such a near-perfect poem. Therefore, he supported Kevin without hesitation.

"No, the number of votes won by the poet laureate does not necessarily have to be the highest. After all, the difference between the votes of the ten of them is not very far. I also know that the reason why Kevin can be ranked second is because of the recent popularity The extremely popular "Anthology of All Beings", but because of this collection of poems, I am more sure that I will vote for him." Randolph Orm continued to explain.

"This collection of poems has been buzzing recently. Is it really so magical? I seldom read poems written by young people nowadays. Maybe you said so. I should take a look."

"Yes, as for you haven't seen this collection of poems yet. Then tell me after you finish reading it. Maybe then you will understand why I support Kevin."

Randolph Orm believed that when several other judges read Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings". They will understand why they have to recommend Kevin as the poet laureate this time.

"Since the chairman said so, well, let's try our best to read Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings". Perhaps it must have its advantages in being a bestseller. But, I hope it will not Let us down."

Randolph Orm, as the president of the British Poetry Association, can vigorously support a poet, which proves that the weight of this poet in his heart must not be light. Therefore, at this time, the other judges were also full of curiosity about the poems written by Kevin.

Yes, although Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" has almost grabbed the headlines of the British poetry circle and even the literary world recently, many of them, as the respected predecessors of literature and poetry in the UK, would hardly consider reading the works written by modern young people. poetry. Therefore, this is also the reason why many of them have not read "The Collection of All Beings". (to be continued)
