Pressed Flowers

Pressed Flowers is the debut poetry collection by Ashley Lazarz - a heartfelt, vulnerable exploration of one transformative year through love, loss, healing, and self-discovery.Told month by month, beginning in December, the book is structured like a personal journal of emotions. Each chapter captures the shifting seasons of the heart: from falling in love and dreaming boldly, to experiencing heartbreak, depression, grief, and ultimately, growth and peace.In a world that often demands perfection and composure, this book offers softness, honesty, and a reminder that healing is not linear - it's layered, delicate, and often pressed into us like petals in a book. Pressed Flowers is not just a poetry collection - it's a companion for anyone walking through their own seasons of change. Whether you're in the middle of letting go or just learning how to hold yourself again, these pages will remind you that you are not alone - and that growth, however slow, is always blooming.
