U.A. Fanthorpe was born in 1929. She read English at St Anne's College, Oxford and later taught English at Cheltenham Ladies' College. She is of interest to psychiatrists because she worked as a receptionist at the Burden Hospital in Bristol from 1974 to 1989. This poem is drawn from her experience at the Burden Hospital. She was appointed CBE in 2001 and awarded the Queen's Medal for Poetry in 2003. ‘Patients’ is reproduced from Collected Poems 1978–2003, by U.A. Fanthorpe (Peterloo Poets, 2005).
