Meet Epitome Quirkstandard, an upper class English gentlemen who's a bit of a wet lettuce, though his heart is in the right place. Meet Simone Crepuslar, bearer of a girl's name, pamphlet-writer and shop owner, wearer of a loin cloth and accidental adventurer (he joined the army instead of a travelling circus -meaning his life was remarkably different from what he planned). Meet Simone's sons - Simon and Rodney and Epitome's aunt, Miss Penelope Penultimate, oh and Nigel Spiggot. Nigel is Epitome's best friend and he's a dog. The front cover design now makes sense!

Join this very odd lot on their personal adventures and histories that results in their paths crossing and therefore twists and turns in the story's ending. It's a fun read, will definitely impress you with the amount of adjectives and synonyms used and the even better than that, if you've ever seen (or heard) A F Harrold perform as a spoken word poet, you can read the story in your head with his voice narrating it. That, I'm sure, makes the read quite unique from any other.

This book is quirky, just like its author, and is definitely worth a look.

Forward Poetry's ethos has always been to act as a bridge to publication rather than a barrier. This, along with our passion for poetry and creative writing, has seen a humble family business evolve into the biggest publisher of new poetry in the world. We understand that poetry is subjective, that everyone writes in a different style and that what one person can love, another can hate! Our collections showcase a variety of themes, writing styles and poets from all walks of life. They are carefully edited and compiled to celebrate and complement the craft that all of our contributors enjoy poetry.
