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

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

Started off great, by introducing the ominous enigma of Oliver Haddo, The Magician and all the other relevant characters. I love the part where Maugham explore on beauty and terror. It was good. But the rest is meh.
