Annie Fisher reviews ‘Not My Best Side', Selected Poems by U.A. Fanthorpe, edited by John Greening, with a preface by A.E. Stallings (Baylor University Press, 2024).
Absolutely love UA Fanthorpe, for all the reasons you give. I'm tempted to buy the book, even though I have the original Selected Poems and quite a few individual collections, but the shipping from the USA is a bit off-putting!
I bought my copy through my local bookshop and it arrived fairly quickly with no problems. It sounds like you’ll have many of the poems already but you may well find the notes interesting.

I tried Bookshop.org who didn't have it, but Waterstones do! Ordered.
I’ve been posting a daily poem.
