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.

Prompt

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

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)
