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.
