Aged Fragrance 《沉香》

By Ya-Jun Chen

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.

《沉香》是《雅君诗集》下册，收录陈雅君2021年至2026年创作的诗歌约275首。与《流年》侧重对自然与世界的观察不同，《沉香》更多呈现诗人向内心深处的回望与沉思。

在这部诗集中，季节、风雨、花木依然频繁出现，但它们已不仅是自然景象，更成为人生经验与情感记忆的映照。诗人通过对亲情、故乡、信仰、生命与时光的书写，展现岁月沉淀之后更加宁静而深远的人生体悟。

书中收录的大量"橄榄诗"，语言简洁凝练，意蕴悠长，于平凡生活中见智慧，于细微感悟中见人生。经历时间的沉淀与生命的历练，这些诗句如沉香般温润内敛，散发着持久而深远的回甘。

《沉香》不仅是一部诗集，更是一位写作者与岁月同行、与内心对话的精神记录。
