This Is Me

I find that the best one can usually do, with regards to personal voices and styles, is to just offer your thoughts honestly and humbly and ask that the author always remember that first and foremost it is their poem. Once the advice and thoughts are given, I think it's best for a person to let go of it, it is not our work, it is the author's work. It's such an important part of criticism, and It's also so difficult.
