How do you edit?

If you don't like the word vapid there, swap it in your mind for timid.

I know people who are humble but not timid. In relationship to workshopping, I don't think you have to be either to choose which suggestions to pass on and which to attempt to use. I'm not saying workshopping is right for everyone or every poem, I just think it gives more life than death to poetry for the poet who can use it well, and that's a learned skill.
