For more than a decade, journalist Aleza Freeman read, re-read, posted, then deleted, or edited verses of her life. In Falling Behind (2025), Freeman liberates these captive words in print so she can move forward.
Primarily penned during the messy transitions of college and early career, from Southern Nevada to Northern California and back again, the rhyming and non-rhyming free verse is sometimes sad, sometimes silly, and always sincere. The book is a quick read about feeling stuck, seeking meaning, and letting go, with themes of hope, heartbreak, indecision, aging, existential dread, and resilience.
A synthesis of soul-searching, social commentary, and a touch of nostalgia. Falling Behind is a raw and deeply honest reminder that you cannot write your next chapter until you finally release the last one.
