The Space Between is a contemporary poetry collection that explores the quiet distances that shape a life. From the streets of Wolverhampton to the river at Ludlow and the wide-open skies of Barmouth, Cora B B weaves together place, memory, and emotion in poems that are intimate, grounded, and deeply human.
Across these pages you will find narrative poems, nature poems, and reflective pieces that move between past and present, city and coast, fear and hope, loss and renewal. Family stories sit beside wartime remembrance, Black Country dialect pieces sit beside lyrical meditations on rivers, bridges, and the changing seasons. Each poem captures an ordinary moment and turns it into something luminous.
This collection speaks to anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds or standing on the edge of change. Themes of home, belonging, mental health, resilience, and intergenerational connection run through the book, making it a powerful companion for readers who turn to poetry for comfort, clarity, and courage.
The Space Between is ideal for fans of contemporary British poetry who enjoy clear, accessible language with emotional depth and a strong sense of place. Whether you are drawn to poems about family, poems about nature, or poems about the inner landscapes of fear and hope, this collection offers a voice that feels both familiar and refreshingly original.
