Franceli Chapman-Varela

In her debut poetry collection, Between Spaces Afro-Latina Writer/Actor Franceli Chapman-Varela invites us to take up space in the world. Franceli has navigated between so many spaces in this lifetime while unlearning what life tried to make her. In this collection the reader will traverse writings on identity, family ties, lovers & lies and God & her truth.

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. Let's go on this ride together, for her and for you.

Testimonials

  • “This collection of poems is not just poems put together, but storytelling at its finest. ”

    - Julissa Calderon (Actress/Entrepreneur)

  • “These poems are roots, are "Yerrrrrr!" are migration, Quisqueya, familia, the Bronx & all that haunting geography. Franceli Chapman has just dropped your new favorite bars."

    —Roberto Carlos Garcia, author of What Can I Tell You? Selected Poems

  • "Contained within the prose are affirmations and confessions, longings and musings, declarations and whispers from the heart. I think there is a place within this book where you will find connection and understanding as you traverse the prose."
