[Stylist] Critiquing method

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Jackie,

Yes, this is standard for poetry as well. Again, it helps the writer better
understand what is working and what is not. In workshops, it's rare for
prose and poetry to be mixed. So, poets workshop with other poets, and prose
writers workshop with other prose writers. Public writing groups you find in
your community will have a mix of prose and poetry. And if you've ever
participated in a writing retreat, there will be a mix. But actual workshops
do not mix, or it's rare.

I will say, in my experience, at the end of a workshop, the writer is given
time to provide any insight and ask follow-up questions. And this is how I
run workshops too.
