To describe this book in its namesake-in a few words-is the kind of irony it seeks to capture. Parted into four phases of life that are familiarly complicated, this anthology is a consolidation of fleeting thoughts, hidden desires, painful denials, and unexplored possibilities. These reflections live within the moments of search, love, angst, and passing, unfolding with a quiet curiosity to understand each more deeply. While it does not seek to feel complete, it hopes to invite the unfinished versions of the reader to find respite amidst the constant chase we call daily life. In a Few Words is a book built on memories and anchored in discovery. Its resolution is an allowance to be.
