What if poetry had one final kingand the world had already forgotten how to listen?Published in 2021, just before generative AI transformed the future of writing, G. C. Schops The Poetry King is an unconventional five-act poetic work about love, loss, beauty, memory, and the survival of poetry itself.Standing metaphorically upon his mountain, the Poetry King calls upon all Nine Muses, echoing the ancient invocations of epic poetry. Opposing him is Avery PeersonEvery Personthe modern voice that sees little value in difficult language, art, or poetry.But beneath the wordplay, mythology, romance, and Shakespearean echoes lies a darker question:What happens to humanity when we begin forgetting the things that once made us human?At the center of the book is its only footnote: Alan Kurdi, 20122015, the three-year-old boy whose body washed ashore during the Syrian refugee crisis. He becomes a haunting symbol of memory itselfof the people, stories, and truths the world briefly mourns and then allows to disappear.Across five acts, the King who sets out to defend poetry is himself transformed by love, heartbreak, and the Muse. Ancient epic, Shakespearean drama, mythology, romantic verse, and modern language collide in a work deliberately unlike a conventional poetry collection.The book reaches FINIS.And yet the Poetry King speaks again.Because poems may end.Poets may disappear.But poetry refuses to die.The Poetry KingA love story. A defense of poetry. A five-act literary experimentand, perhaps, a final salute to the age when the written word could still be assumed to have come from a human hand.©2021 G. C. Schop (P)2026 G. C.
