Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 196: The Perfect Collection of Poems

David Li was watching the news in front of the computer at this time. When he saw an unread letter in the mailbox, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately opened it to read it. Awesome Literature Network

"Great, Kevin finally wrote this work. Let me take a good look."

So, David Lee excitedly opened Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings", and read it carefully.

Shelley's "When a Lamp Shattered" and "The Philosophy of Love" came first, then Wordsworth's "We Are Seven", Byron's "I Have Saw You Cry"... …

David Lee first looked at the first poem of "The Collection of All Beings", that is, "When a lamp is broken" by Shelley.

Shelley really deserves to be one of the most talented poets in Britain. He has too many classic works, so Kevin's collection of poems naturally cannot ignore his works too much. After all, there is a saying that British poets lack many characteristics without Shelley.

(one)

When a lamp is broken,

Its light dies in ashes;

When the clouds parted from the sky,

The rainbow's splendor faded away.

If the pipa is broken,

The sweet melody is silenced;

If the mouth finishes speaking,

The charm of love is quickly forgotten.

(two)

like music and light

It must coexist with the pipa and the lamp,

The heart cannot sing,

If the spirit has been depressed,

No song, just mourning,

Like the wind blowing through a corner of ruins,

Like wailing waves,

Ring the death knell for dead sailors.

David Lee just read the first two stanzas of this poem, and he already felt Kevin's talent.

He was so excited, he started to close the news page, and then concentrated on watching this "The Collection of All Beings".

Since this collection of poems has more than 200 poems. In order to be able to finish watching it as soon as possible, David Lee also turned down everything in the past few days. After all, he has already been deeply fascinated by the poems written by Kevin, and he can't wait. It's like a hungry wolf that has been sleeping for a long time and sees the prey in front of it, or like a flower that is about to wither and encounters rain and dew.

"It's so graceful. It's amazing."

A week later, David Lee finally finished reading the collection of poems sent to him by Kevin. At this time, he was completely relieved of his previous worries. Because this work is so mature and perfect, if you didn't know Kevin, who would have thought that it took about half a month to complete it?

"Kevin is really a literary genius. He can maintain such a high level at such a fast speed." David Lee couldn't help but sighed to himself again.

Naturally, such a wonderful work should be published earlier, so David Lee wrote a letter of recommendation to the Royal Poetry Publishing House after reading "The Collection of All Beings".

The Royal Poetry Press is a publishing house specializing in poetry. It is also currently the only publishing house in the UK that only publishes poetry. Because of this, their publishing house is also very strict on the publication of poetry. After all, what they want to do is the high-quality line, and those ordinary works are not considered at all.

Of course, it was recommended by the famous poetry critic David Lee, and they will naturally pay attention to it. Therefore, after receiving the manuscript, Louis, the editor in charge of this part, began to review the manuscript immediately.

Lewis was a poet before he became an editor, and he was a little famous at that time. Therefore, his requirements for poetry are notoriously strict in the industry.

But when Louis saw "The Collection of All Beings". He had to sigh: My God, this is simply a work that can only be written by a genius poet.

Louis hasn't completely finished watching "The Collection of All Beings", but he has made such exclamation words no less than 10 times. Yes. As a poet and as an editor, he certainly knew what kind of poetry was good poetry, and he also knew what kind of poetry could be called perfect.

He has also read a lot of poetry works in the past ten years, but he has never seen a collection of poems that can collect many perfect poems in one book. He felt incredible, and even deeply doubted whether this poet came from the world.

So, Louis excitedly wrote on his Twitter: Oh my God, this is the most perfect collection of poetry I've seen in my life. Look forward to a great work in British poetry.

As soon as Louis's tweet was sent out, some people began to voice their doubts. After all, this is not the first time he has made such an exaggerated recommendation.

"If I remember correctly. Lewis said that every time he reviewed a manuscript for publication, but what? I didn't see the so-called great works."

"Bring it down, Mr. Lewis. You have said it n times. But we have never seen a so-called greatest British work. I think it will be the same this time. Therefore, we are already desperate."

"Actually, I have always liked Mr. Lewis. Including his works---as long as he doesn't exaggerately recommend the works of their publishing house."

"May I ask Mr. Lewis, when will you stop talking big? Can there still be talented poets? If not, I think those so-called great works are hard to see."

After Louis finished tweeting, he continued to review his manuscript before he had time to read the comments.

When Louis finished reading all the manuscripts, he immediately replied to David Lee. He wrote in the letter: Dear Mr. David Lee, thank you for the work you recommended. I'm so excited because this is the most perfect collection of poetry I've ever seen. I think our publishing house is willing to make some contributions to such works. Could you please provide us with the contact information of the author?

All of this was within David Lee's expectation, so he wasn't surprised at all. After all, he believed that no publisher would reject such a work.

After receiving a reply from the Royal Poetry Press, he told Kevin the news. After hearing this, Kevin also expressed his willingness to talk about publishing with the other party. So I asked David Li to reply to my contact information.

After receiving the author's contact information from David Lee's reply, the Royal Poetry Publishing House also knew that such an excellent work could not wait for too long. So, after a brief meeting, they decided that Louis would be solely responsible for contacting Kevin.

Louis had seen the evaluation of himself by people on Twitter at night, and he believed that when Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" was published, it would definitely improve people's opinion of him. So, he was very excited. For all of this, he also had to have a good chat with Kevin, and then get this work done. (To be continued) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
