Have you ever looked at someone and wondered, what is their story?

And in quiet moments have you ever asked yourself, what is my story?

The King reveals a story told across decades, countries and cultures; it spans quiet country idyll and chaotic streets of unstable regimes and times, examining fate, faith, fear, love and reconciliation.

History may be past, but at times, it gets in the way of the future; yet used correctly, it can inform better decision and outcomes. One thing History cannot do, is change itself.

The King is the feature of this collection of poetry written by Richie Phillips, a collection of experiences, influences, observations and characters, written over a period of ten years in a selection of styles. These too, are stories.
