About
In her debut poetry collection, Between Spaces Afro-Latina Writer/Actor Franceli Chapman-Varela invites us to take up space in the world. Chapman has navigated between so many spaces in this lifetime while unlearning what life tried to make her.
In this collection the reader will traverse the themes of identity, faith, acceptance and resilience through Ms. Chapman's evocative verses. This collection is a tribute to 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. “Between Spaces” is for anyone that has felt out of place between what the world says and what one knows about oneself. Go on the ride of prose & poetry, for her and for you.
