Chapter 234

After the host said that, first of all, David Lee introduced why he recommended Kevin to participate in the poet laureate campaign.

David Lee picked up the microphone and said, "yes, a lot of people will wonder why I chose to recommend Kevin. But I don't think you will be surprised by my behavior when you read his poems. "

"Dear Mr. David Lee, do you think Kevin's poems are better than others in your opinion?" The next reporter asked.

"Yes, I've never met a person who can write poems like this. Every poem in his collection of living beings is near perfect. Please listen to each one, not one or two of them, or more than a dozen of them. " David Lee reminds me seriously.

"Did you ever think that Kevin, as a newcomer, would be qualified to compete with other rivals who have long been famous in British poetry?" The reporter continued to ask.

"I'm full of confidence in his poetry, and I think it's his poetry that won the honor. Thank you David Lee said confidently.

After David Lee's introduction, Randolph AUM will explain to you why Kevin was chosen as the poet laureate by the judges.

"Hello, I'm Randolph AUM. Yes, I'm a fan of poetry. Here, thank you very much for taking the time to attend our press conference. This is not the first time that I have participated in such a press conference. After all, before that, the British Poetry Association has held it several times. " Randolph AUM took the microphone and said.

"Well, dear Mr. Randolph AUM, can you explain why you chose Kevin while facing so many excellent poets?" The reporter asked.

"This time, all the ten poets are excellent. York Rutland, in particular, won the highest number of votes, and he was a noble himself. But we finally chose Kevin. There is only one reason - his poetry conquered us“ Randolph AUM explains.

"From the answers given by David Lee and you just now, all the answers we get are that Kevin's poems are very good. But we also know that Kevin is not a royal nobleman. I remember that all the former laureates were won by Royal noblemen The reporter continued to ask.

"As for the royal nobility, it is only one of the selection criteria. In our history, there are many poets who are not royal nobility but have won this award. They are all excellent. Moreover, the poet laureate is measured by his ability to write poetry, not by his identity and age. " Randolph AUM went on to explain.

"Dear Mr. Randolph AUM, what do you think of Kevin's poems?"

"That's great. Before the answer is confirmed, we all read his collection of all living beings, and we all agree that this collection of poems is enough to prove his ability to write poems. And that's what we've chosen. So that's why we chose Kevin as our poet laureate this time. "

"Maybe the friends who haven't seen Kevin's all creatures can try to have a look, and then you will understand why we chose Kevin." Randolph AUM said again.

Randolph AUM's explanation is quite satisfactory for the reporters. After all, some of them have seen Kevin's all living beings, and naturally they know the excellence of this poetry collection.

"Well, dear Mr. Randolph AUM, Kevin is only in his 20s. What do you think his future will be like?" The reporters continued to ask.

Randolph AUM thought for a moment, then said: "I think his literary road must be bright. He has shown extraordinary talent. Maybe there will be a Nobel Prize for him. We deeply believe that he will take English literature to a different height - this is one of the important reasons why we choose him. "

When Randolph AUM finished, the reporters on the stage applauded warmly. Especially those who have seen Kevin's works, they are very excited at this time. Because, as Randolph AUM said, Kevin has the ability to take English literature to a different level.

Randolph AUM's purpose this time is just to explain why the British Poetry Association and the jury chose Kevin as the poet laureate this time. Now it's over. He's done his job. But the press conference did not end. They took the opportunity to interview Kevin on the spot.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin. Can we take this opportunity to ask you some questions?" A girl with curly hair stood up and said.

Seeing this, the staff also handed the microphone to Kevin. Kevin took the phone and said with a smile, "beautiful lady, of course. I'm happy to take your questions. "

"Thank you, Mr. Kevin. What do you think of your winning the highest honor in British poetry?"

"I was stunned when I got the news that I had won such an honor. Yes, as a writer and poet, everyone wants to get such glory, so my heart is naturally happy. I have known all the ten poets this time. They are very good, very good. So, I think it was God who favored me, and then unexpectedly won the title of poet laureate Kevin said.

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

Kevin pauses for a few seconds, then says, "thank God, thank you readers. Maybe that's what I want to say most at the moment. "

When Kevin finished, there was another round of applause. Yes, the most people hear Kevin say is "thank you readers". No matter what awards he won, he always thinks of his readers for the first time. This is a conscientious writer and poet. So, just clapping, they are also for such a conscientious writer and poet.

The purpose of this press conference is just to explain to the media why Kevin was chosen as the poet laureate. Therefore, the time they intend to spend on this conference is not very long. After the media reporters asked several questions one after another, the press conference was officially over.

After the press conference, the celebration banquet almost began. In order not to waste time, Kevin, David Lee, Randolph AUM and others have a rest in the hotel and then rush to the celebration banquet.

Laureate poet is the most senior honorary title in British poetry, so many celebrities and authoritative figures in British literary circles are invited to attend the annual celebration banquet. Because of this, the celebration banquet of the poet laureate is also known as the highest level gathering banquet of English literature, because the writers and poets who can come to the scene have a certain position in the English literary world.

As soon as Kevin walked into the meeting hall, he met two familiar faces: curry and Santos. Although they rarely involved in the genre of poetry, they had a great influence in English literature, so they were invited to this banquet.

"Hi! Kevin, congratulations. Look, the beautiful lights and everything are for you tonight. You have lived up to our expectations. " Curry said happily.

"Yes, Kevin, when I read your manuscript for the 7th London literature competition, I knew your talent was so different. Now it seems that all this is true. You're not only good at writing novels, you're good at writing poems. " Santos gave Kevin a straight thumbs up.

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

"Ha ha, a good God has the final say. You don't even speak in the same tone as other people. You are a poet laureate Santos said with a smile.

They have been paying attention to this young man since Kevin first got involved in the literary world. In other words, they are watching Kevin's works published one by one, being questioned, and then selling them to get support and love. At this time, they have seen the shadow of literary magnate from Kevin.

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

With David Lee and others at the table, Kevin and Kuri Santos left after a chat. Anyway, they are all here tonight. There are plenty of opportunities to talk.

Although Kevin is the protagonist tonight, nine other poets who participated in the poet laureate campaign have been invited. This is the habit of their organizers in the past, and this time it will be no exception.

J's father, York Rutland, is a popular choice for the poet laureate, and the whole family thinks York will get the title. But when the result came out, they were very disappointed. So the lost York Rutland didn't come to the party tonight.

When Kevin appeared in front of the nine poets, they were all very surprised. Yes, they just heard that Kevin is very young, but they didn't expect him to have such a young face.

My God, how could I lose to such a young man? Did he really get the favor of God? Maybe their inner world can only sigh at this moment.

Kevin sits at a table with David Lee, Randolph AUM and others. The other eight poets and their families who come to the banquet make a table. Of course, it's not easy to be recommended as a poet laureate. So, these eight people are also enjoying the noble service, their table is just next to Kevin.
