Aged Fragrance 《沉香》

Aged Fragrance is the second volume of Collected Poems of Yajun Chen, featuring approximately 275 poems written between 2021 and 2026. While Flowing Years looks outward to the natural world, Aged Fragrance turns inward, offering reflections on memory, faith, family, and the deeper meanings of life.Nature remains a central presence throughout the collection, yet flowers, seasons, wind, and rain become symbols of personal experience and emotional insight. Written during a period marked by change, separation, reunion, and reflection, these poems reveal a quieter, more contemplative voice shaped by time and maturity.The collection also includes Chen's distinctive "Olive Poems," brief works that transform everyday observations into moments of wisdom and grace. Like agarwood that develops its fragrance through the passage of time, these poems carry a gentle depth that lingers long after reading.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿2021¿¿2026¿¿¿¿¿¿¿275¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
