This really makes a lot of sense to me when it comes to writing scripts for
theater. Because I think the Director and the actors actually "make" the
play, even though a writer has written it. Their work is just as much a part
of the process of "making" the play as writing the script is.
But I don't know that I'd apply this quite the same way with prose and
poetry. I think Some prose and Some poetry allows the reader to create
meaning more, but some doesn't...
