... UA Fanthorpe is a poet who dislikes modern life. Consider this, using examples from 'Safe As Houses'. - Kate Graham In 'A Major Road for Romney Marsh', Fanthorpe's view of modern life is easily identifiable. The poem is set out like an argument, the words on the right being the thoughts of developers, people who want the road, arguing against those who believe the marsh is best left untouched. Fanthorpe shows her love for nature by her choice of diction, 'peaceable' being used to describe the canal. She personifies the Marsh, describing its small churches as being 'truculent'. When she comments on how 'nowhere' else is like it in the first stanza of the poem, we feel admiration for the Marsh, and the line, 'It is itself, and different', near the bottom of the poem brings home the fact that in modern society very few things can be called different anymore.
