Notes From Your Bookseller Courtney Peppernell and Zack Grey dedicate their book to anyone in a long-distance relationship or friendship. Considering the year 2020, it feels as if this book were for all of us. They perfectly capture the ache of missing someone, the thrill of getting to see them, the jump in our hearts when they reach out. The digital age can isolate us, and it can bring us together. The ebb and flow are overwhelming. Peppernell and Grey pull us to shore. This might be the most intimate book of poetry released this year.
A universal narrative on the significance of distance with love; remember to hold on to what you believe in. Ideal for those “whose love knows no bounds," The Space Between Us is full of profound anecdotes and messages, illustrating the courage and heartache of enduring physical distance.
The Space Between Us explores the trials of love and what it's like to live a life separated by distance from someone you care about. Its content is thoughtfully divided into five chapters, or phases, of the long-distance experience:
At First Glance
Living for Tomorrow
Lonely Nights
Grow Together/Grow Apart
When I See You.
A combination of poems and prose are sporadically connected with small graphics and maps to visualize the journey of physical distance. These poems serve as an adhesive between the reader and the ones they miss, the longing, the anticipation, and the eventual relief. Though both authors bring with them a unique perspective, the lens is singular; each is attuned to navigating this complex terrain.
