Step into the intimate world of ‘Between Spaces, ‘ Franceli Chapman-Varela’s debut poetry collection that captures the essence of life’s moments in verse.

In these pages Ms.Chapman is inviting you to take up space in the world. ‘I have navigated between so many spaces in this lifetime while unlearning what life tried to make me.’ You’ll find the echoes of whispered dreams and the cadence of heartfelt confessions. ‘Between Spaces’ is not just a collection of poems; it’s a reflection of the human experience-raw, honest, and deeply personal.
From the shores of Dominican Republic to the hustle of New York City each poem represents the spaces that shaped her. Poetry in English, Spanish and Spanglish, this collection empowers you to pause, to feel, and to reflect.
Go on this journey through ‘Between Spaces’ and discover the power of poetry to illuminate the hidden corners of our souls. Whether you’re a seasoned poetry lover or embarking on this journey for the first time, there’s a verse waiting here to resonate with you. This collection is for the big bottle-cap glasses wearing, gap teeth, awkward 12-year-old who confessed to her father that one day she wanted to be a published author like him. This poetry collection is for anyone that has felt out of place between what the world says about you and what you know about yourself. Go on the ride for her and for you.
