This volume is not merely a collection of essays, but a body of writing shaped and refined by time itself.
Spanning from 2013 to 2026, the book gathers over a decade of Chen Yajun's continuous writing, weaving together fragments of daily life, observations of nature, and reflections on human experience into a coherent temporal landscape.
Her writing often arises from the ordinary-a passing rain, a journey, the shift of seasons, or subtle emotional exchanges between people. The language is restrained and unadorned, yet reveals a steady rhythm and quiet resonance upon closer reading.
With a long career in vocal training and choral practice, Chen brings an innate sensitivity to rhythm, pause, and tonal flow. Her writing does not strive for rhetorical complexity; instead, it unfolds like a sustained voice-measured, enduring, and resonant across time. This quality is especially evident in her ongoing exploration of the "Olive Poem," a concise poetic form that carries depth through restraint.
Rather than a conventional anthology, this book traces a visible arc of time. Scattered moments of life gain density through persistence, while personal experience accumulates into something tangible and lasting.
If Volume I presents the process of writing, Volume II reveals what writing leaves behind.In looking back, these texts become more than records-they are sediment,formed quietly, yet enduringly, in the flow of time.
这不是一本单纯的散文集,而是一段被时间反复打磨后的书写沉积。
延续上卷对写作历程的展开,本书收录了陈雅君多年持续创作的文字,从2013年至2026年,跨越十余年时光,将日常经验、自然观察与人生感悟,重新编织于同一时间脉络之中。
这些篇章多取材于生活细微之处:一场雨、一段旅途、一种季节的变化,或是人与人之间的情感流转。语言朴素而节制,不刻意修饰,却在反复阅读中显现出稳定的节奏与内在的韵律。
作者长期从事声乐与合唱教学,这一背景使她对"节奏"与"呼吸"具有天然的敏感。她的文字并非追求修辞的繁复,而更接近一种内在的"发声":平缓、持续,在时间中缓慢回响。尤其是其持续实践的"橄榄诗",以简短结构承载情绪的延展,形成独特而自觉的表达方式。
与其说这是一部作品集,不如说是一条可被看见的时间轨迹。零散的日常,在持续书写中获得了厚度;个体经验,在时间的反复叠加中,逐渐形成一种可以被感知的存在。
如果上卷记录的是"写作如何发生",那么本卷呈现的,是"写作如何留下痕迹"。
在回望之中,这些文字不再只是瞬间的记录,而成为一种沉淀--
属于时间,也属于一个人对生活长期而坚定的回应。

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
