U.A. Fanthorpe was that rarest of literary beings, a poet who was hugely
popular with the general public and at the same time very seriously
regarded by fellow poets and literary critics for her originality, wit
and humanity. Since her death, much of her work has been out of print.
Selected Poems, chosen from over thirty years of Fanthorpe s distinctive
and accessible writing by her partner R.V. Bailey, will delight all her
existing fans as well as those who come to her poems for the first
time."
