Hi Matthew! Great question.
Regardless of whether the review is positive or negative, I thank the person for taking the time to read and review my work.
Writing is art. Art is subjective. Not everyone will love my work, particularly poetry. I get that. I don't love everything I read! So I decided long ago to be thankful, grateful that people are reading me, even if they are mean or rude in their review of it.
Sure, it can sting. I'm human. But I hope I can learn something for future books or at least as a person.
Thank you for asking!
Best,
Rachel
