U.A.Fanthorpe
Peterloo
is deeply saddened to have to report that U.A.Fanthorpe died
on 28th April 2009 at the age of 79. Obituaries appeared in
The Daily Telegraph on Friday May 1st and in The
Guardian, The Times and The Independent on Saturday
May 2nd. An appreciation of U.A.Fanthorpe by her publisher
Harry Chambers appeared on page 33 of The Guardian
on May 4th. In The Guardian Review of May 2nd, in
her first interview as our new poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy
spoke for us all when she wrote: "As this goes to press,
along with all the writers and readers who adored her, I am
grief-stricken to hear of the death of the poet U.A.Fanthorpe,
an unofficial, deeply loved laureate for so many people for
so many years." Her legacy resides in her Collected
Poems 1978-2003.
