Say the Hard Thing — A Guided Poetry Journal

Most of us have a poem we've started a hundred times and never finished. This journal is a way through it. You pick one true thing and carry it up through five altitudes — Confess, Mythologize, Sit With, Dissolve, Be Seen — each with a short craft note in a plain voice, a warm-up, a few prompts, room to write, and a "watch for" line naming the trap that kills poems at that altitude.

You come out the other side with a finished poem — and a method you can run again. It's the road; the collections (FNSS, Precipice) are where the road goes.

Own method, original examples, AI-disclosed. A fillable PDF you can write straight into.
