Chapter 217

Lewis was relieved when he heard that David Lee had promised that he would try his best to elect Kevin to the British Poetry Association.

David Lee doesn't procrastinate either. He knows that the poet laureate is being elected by the Association recently. So, after hanging up with Lewis, he called Kevin, intending to talk to him and find out about Kevin's information.

"What? Dear David Lee, do you mean I'm going to run for the poet laureate Kevin asked in surprise.

With this memory, Kevin naturally knows what poet laureate means in English literature. Although the money for this title is not much, the treatment is totally different. Think about how many works of the poet laureate have been promoted all over the world, and many Western leaders often like to join the works of the poet laureate when they read their manuscripts.

The most recent example is that at the inauguration ceremony of US President oba, the poet Elizabeth Alexander recited the poem "Anthem of the day" which they entrusted the poet laureate to complete.

So Kevin was surprised to hear that David Lee was going to choose himself to compete for the title. Because it's something he never thought about.

"Yes, Louis called me today, and he thought you had the ability. You have to know that your collection of living beings is so excellent. It's enough to prove that you have the power of a poet laureate. " David Lee said for sure.

"But in terms of poetry, I'm just a new person. To put it bluntly, except for the previous poems and the current poetry collection, I don't have any achievements." Kevin said modestly.

"No, no, Kevin, your collection of sentient beings is excellent enough. Which modern poet's new work can be printed three times in a month? Which poet's works can attract so much attention? What's more, the election condition of the poet laureate is not how long he writes poetry, but his talent. You've made that impossible for many people. " David Lee said.

"Well, thank you very much for your recommendation. I'll work harder for that. "

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

After receiving Kevin's information, David Lee took it to the British Poetry Association and submitted it. The address of the British Poetry Association is in betterton street, No.22, London. Betterton street is still a certain distance from David Lee's residence. So it took David Lee about an hour to get to the site.

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

"David Lee, are you sure you want to recommend Kevin? You know, he's a new man, and he doesn't write many poems. You can recommend Gretel. Gretel is a famous English poet One of them, a member of the British Poetry Society, said.

He said that Gretel is a famous English poet, writer, and one of the aristocrats. Most importantly, he has known David Lee for many years. At the beginning of this year's election campaign, many people thought he would recommend Gretel. After all, Gretel is well-known in English poetry. So when David Lee submitted Kevin's information, they had to be not surprised.

"Yes, Li, you can recommend other poets. You know, there are a lot of Old English poets. Although Kevin is famous, he is still young

"David Lee, you appreciate Kevin, and we all know that. But as they say, I always feel that Kevin is younger. Maybe he didn't have the advantage in the poet laureate election

"I haven't read Kevin's poems, but he's really famous recently. David Lee won't recommend him just because of that

"Dear David Lee, Kevin is too young. Maybe you shouldn't waste a recommended place. After all, even if Gretel doesn't meet your recommendation, there's Luna and Sanka, each of whom is a great British poet. You can be in one of them. "

Other colleagues were also puzzled and surprised by David Lee's recommendation of a newcomer to run for the title of poet laureate.

David Lee had long thought that they would have such a performance when they saw the information they recommended Kevin, so he said at this time: "everyone, Kevin is a new man in poetry, I admit that. But his poems are very good, such as his latest book, the collection of living beings, in which the poems are perfect. I also brought a copy here. If you are free, you can have a look at it. Perhaps, after you read it, you will understand what a gifted poet is

David Lee is full of confidence in all living beings. He believes that when they see the poems in it, they will finally understand why they recommend Kevin for the title of poet laureate.

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

On the surface, they say so, but on the inside, no one will think that Kevin can stand out in the campaign for the title of poet laureate. After all, this is the most senior campaign in British poetry. It requires not only talent, but also readers and identity. It is not comparable to other literary contests.

Yes, they also admit that Kevin has gained the limelight in the literary world recently, and even his sales have shocked the British literary world several times. But which writer or poet was not so popular? Now he is going to run for office with all kinds of English poets. As a new man, he has no advantage.

After submitting his references, David Lee stayed in the British Poetry Association for more than two hours before driving home again. The campaign will take a few days, so he is not anxious to wait for the result.

When David Lee got home, he made a cup of tea and took a few mouthfuls of it, then tweeted it out: I hope Kevin can stand out in the poet laureate campaign and become Britain's new poet laureate.

David Lee's tweet has clearly told us that Kevin has been recommended by him to be the poet laureate in this campaign.

This news is no doubt that Kevin was once again involved in the craze of comments, many people have shown a full face of surprise. Especially those young poets, although they know that Britain has such a title of poet laureate, they never dare to think of it as new people.

But now Kevin has been nominated by David Lee. This is the first time ever!
