Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 89 Wall's Request

When Bogut found Kevin's poem "When You Are Old" and read it again, he seemed to understand something in his heart.

"No wonder the star wants to sing it, this poem is so romantic."

In the end, Bogut could only sigh with shame.

With the popularity of Bella's title song, many people know Bella's musical talent and at the same time know Kevin's literary talents better.

"Time" Wall is always one of the editors with advanced market vision, when he saw all this, he immediately thought of something. So, he called Kevin.

Kevin just picked up his phone and downloaded some reading software. After all, after being reborn in this parallel world, he also wanted to read more books about this parallel world.

After seeing Wall's call, he quickly answered it out of politeness.

"Hi Wall, long time no see! Nice to hear your voice again."

It is true that Kevin and Wall haven't seen each other for a while, and during this time, they also communicated by email. Usually, Kevin sends him the finished manuscript, and Wall is responsible for publishing it into Kevin's column. If the manuscript is not controversial, they rarely communicate by phone.

"Kevin, congratulations, I didn't expect your poem to create a literary miracle. And this poem was published in our "Time Magazine". We are really proud and honored." Wall said on the phone .

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Wall for your appreciation. Oh, what is your purpose for calling this time?"

"It's like this. Now your talent for writing poetry has been recognized by everyone, and it has also aroused discussions in the literary world. So, I thought, can you also write a poem in this issue?" Wall made his request.

What Wall thinks in his heart is: Now that Bella's hit song "When You're Old" is still in the heat, if Kevin can write another poem, then he can use these things as publicity The means to achieve the result of making the sales of "Time Magazine" sell well again.

After all, with Bella's tweet and the popularity of this song! Kevin, a romantic poet, has been known by more people. Kevin wrote relatively few poems, so readers are still full of curiosity about his poems.

"Curiosity" is always the biggest factor that attracts people's attention. Therefore, Wall also has reason to believe that when Time magazine puts up the signboard of "the latest masterpiece poem by romantic poet Kevin", many people will definitely buy a copy without hesitation.

"Of course there is no problem! Writing poetry is a very joyful thing for me. I enjoy the process very much." Kevin said straightforwardly.

Kevin's literary memory system contains the works of all British poets on Earth in his previous life, and there are too many classic poems in these works. All, Kevin didn't worry about it at all. He did not refuse Wall's request.

"Great, thank you so much. Oh, after finishing writing, I will still send it to my mailbox. Don't worry, according to what you mean, a single punctuation will not be changed." Wall did not expect Kevin to answer so simply , I am also very happy.

A single word cannot be changed---this was also agreed when Kevin and Wall signed the column. Kevin also agreed to write a column and write a manuscript precisely because he saw the other party making such a promise. After all, whether it is the earth in the previous life or this parallel world today,

It is true that there are not many magazines or newspapers that can not change a single word of an author.

After Wall chatted casually with Kevin about some life matters, he also hung up the phone. Because he knew very well that Kevin definitely needed to start writing poetry at this time, and then submitted it to him.

The facts were as Wall expected. After Kevin finished chatting with Wall, he planned to copy a classic poem.

Kevin wrote two poems in this parallel world, one is "The Rose of Love" and the other is "When You Are Old". These two poems are related to love. In order to show that his views are not limited to love and love, Kevin plans to write a poem that has nothing to do with love this time.

But should we copy the works of which great British poet from the previous life on Earth? Kevin began to search in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of a person, that is the British genius poet John Keats. Although this writer who died young only existed in this world for 25 years, he has written many classic masterpieces.

The influence of John Keats' poetry is worldwide, and his name cannot be missing in every history of world literature, which is the brilliance that many writers dream of today. Of course, this is the glory Kevin has always hoped for.

John Keats was only 25 years old last year, but his poems are well-known all over the world. His poems are considered to perfectly embody the characteristics of Western Romantic poetry, and he is also praised as an outstanding representative of the European Romantic movement.

Even wanting to copy his poems, Kevin planned to copy his most widely sung "Ode to a Nightingale".

"Ode to a Nightingale" is not a short poem like "When You Are Old". The whole poem has eight stanzas.

He began to write that the poet himself listened to Yingge and was in a magnificent fantasy realm. Then he writes about drinking fine wine, prospering in poetry, drifting away with the nightingale with poetic reverie, lying drunk in the flowers late at night, wisps of fragrance come to his face, the poet is happy with himself, relaxed and happy, and wishes to leave this world. Everyone is mortal, but the song of the nightingale never dies. Thinking of this, the dream ends and returns to reality.

This poem infiltrates the poet's subjective feelings into the specific picture, expresses the scene with emotion, expresses the emotion with the scene, and the artistic conception is unique and novel, out of the ordinary. The whole article is guided by wonderful imagination, written naturally and smoothly. It can also be described as a masterpiece of romantic lyric poetry. Kevin has reason to believe that readers of this parallel world will love it.

"Ode to a Nightingale" actually has eight sections, and Kevin suddenly had an extra idea. That is to create a poetry serialization of "Ode to a Nightingale". Each issue publishes just one section, and then leaves readers to use their imaginations to guess what's coming next. This can also stimulate readers' curiosity about "Ode to a Nightingale".

But this idea still needs to be discussed with Wall, so Kevin picked up the phone and called Wall.

Wall was also very curious when he saw Kevin calling. After all, they were on the phone a few minutes ago. Could it be any surprise to call at this time?

Thinking of this, Kevin immediately pressed the answer button. (Thank you for the rewards of "Evergreen Wugui" and "Wei Suonan" today, and wish them all the best. Thank you for your support.)
