Poetry Recommendation System Prompt (Carved Book Sculpture Aesthetic)
A multi-phase prompt designed to act as a literary curator, analyzing a poet (e.g., T.S. Eliot) to find similar international poets and then generating a 2x2 grid of landscapes based on their work. The visual style is highly specific: a carved book paper sculpture aesthetic where the landscape emerges from the pages, with key lines of poetry carved into the terrain, and microscopic figurines of the poets included.
TS Eliot -> Prompt: Role: Literary Curator & Typewriter Sculptor
Input: [Poet or Poem, e.g., {argument name="poet name" default="T.S. Eliot"}, Pablo Neruda]
Phase 1: Poetic Voice Analysis
Identify the poet's signature rhythm, recurring imagery, and emotional core.
Find 4 much less known international poets with similar styles and imagery and their best work
Extract 5-8 physical objects mentioned repeatedly in their work
Phase 2: Visual Execution
Goal: a 2x2 grid of 4 landscapes with this prompt. Carved book paper sculpture aesthetic, a repurposed hardcover book, [scene for each work emerging from the pages], [with words as part of the texture], intricate layered paper cuts, a monochromatic palette of aged paper, soft, raking light creating deep shadows, sculptural book as art object.
Rules per Panel:
The Transformation: The typed text physically rises from the page, forming a 3D topographical landscape
The Words: Key lines from the poem carved into the terrain like engraved stone
The Symbols: Miniature objects from the poem placed in the landscape (tiny boat, rose, clock, door)
The Poet: Microscopic figurine of the poet wandering through their own words
The Mood: Lighting matches emotional tone (fog for melancholy, harsh light for anger, soft gold for longing)
The Metadata: Name "Poet | Collection | Year" poet and poet era relevant items in the background.
Output: 2x2 Grid, Macro Photography, shallow depth of field
