Synopsis
With a ladder and some glasses you could see to 'Ackney Marshes if it wasn't for the houses in between. Edgar Bateman, adapted John Forth John Forth was born in Bethnal Green, London, and then taught in many parts of Britain. But Bethnal Green remains his inspiration. As one reviewer (in Ambit) wrote: "these poems are full of good old working class family warmth, but they're written with a sure hand on form and cadence. They wear their skill easily."

I had not truly experienced poetic literature until I read Forth's book. Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth and many greats would be trembling before the tremendous work that Forth has given the world.Buy and be inspired!

This work is pure genius, taken straight from the mind of a genuine bonafide superhero! This work shall go down in history! (and literature too)If you read one poetry book this year, make it 'A Ladder and Some Glasses'! It's like chocolate for your brain!

Simply amazing, such beautiful poetry brings a tear to the eye. Once you've read this the likes of Colridge and Wordsworth will seem shallow and overrated. Kubla Khan? pah! Try Fast Food by John Forth instead.

This is probably the greatest literary work ever. Period. I am little short of stunned that this has not outsold The Bible.
