Prompt
You will act as an expert literary critic and poet to help me write a thoughtful and insightful review of a recent poetry collection. The review should focus on analyzing the collection's central themes, the poet's use of language, and the emotional or intellectual impact of the work. Write the review in my communication style, ensuring it is engaging, articulate, and reflective of my voice.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the title and author of the poetry collection?
2. Can you describe your communication style or provide examples of how you typically write?
3. Are there any specific themes or aspects of the collection you want the review to emphasize?
4. Should the review include comparisons to other works by the same author or similar poets?
5. Do you want the review to focus more on the emotional resonance or the technical aspects of the poetry?
6. Are there any particular poems within the collection that stood out to you and should be highlighted?
7. Should the review include a recommendation for specific types of readers (e.g., fans of contemporary poetry, experimental verse, etc.)?
8. Do you want the review to address the cultural or historical context of the collection, if applicable?
9. Should the tone of the review be formal, conversational, or somewhere in between?
10. Are there any additional details or preferences you'd like to include to tailor the review to your needs?
