A long - form poem collection might be one. If we consider a book to be a very long work with many chapters and a large amount of text, and a novel as a fictional story of a certain length, a collection of long - form poems can be shorter than a book but still longer than a novel, especially if the poems are quite lengthy and there are a good number of them.
