Inscribed by Power in black biro to half-title:"Dear Charles,/ with best/ wishes from/ Phoebe/ P R Power/ February 2019". With note on scrap paper, in purple felt-tip, laid in, thanking Charles for his interest and hoping he enjoys the poems. Else, clean and bright. A near fine copy of Power's short collection. In 2016 the York-based, British poet (1993-) recorded seven of her poems from Harp Duet with electronic music by Michael Hedges. In the original live performance, digital samplers and audio recordings accompanied both pre-recorded and live versions of the poems. Harp Duet can be listened to at: https://soundcloud.com/michaeljhedges/sets/harp-duet. Two year's later, Power's first full-length collection Shrines of Upper Austria won the Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection; it was also shortlisted for the 2018 T. S. Eliot Prize.
