When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities by Chen Chen

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.25

I didn’t intend to meet you & you yourselves were probably hoping for better. But isn’t this how it happens? Aren’t all great love stories, at their core, great mistakes?

Sometimes, parents & children become the most common strangers. Eventually, a street appears where they can meet again.

Poignant collection of poems about leaving home, coming home, love and loss, life and death, parents and child, most importantly, about possibillities. Chen's title suited what this anthology succesfully portrayed: endless possibilities to see anything in any way.
