{"product_id":"9780878396511","title":"Growing Big","description":"\"I've felt for a long time that the poem 'Growing Big' is one of the finest poems about parents, a poem driven by an essential understanding of an old fairy tale, then complicated by the careful thinking and feeling and image-making of Tracy Youngblom. The book Youngblom has created,Growing Big, is a powerful look at gender, with poems that ask every reader to consider their own relationships with the powerful men and women, boys and girls in their own lives, a book of poems so beautifully written we live and breathe inside the poet's memories as if they are our own. Youngblom writes: 'the really great thing about love \/ is that it can only kill you once . . .' and the really great thing about this book is how every poem fights back against this pronouncement. Love: complicated, pure, crazy, correct, hard-won, unasked for, resides in every poem in this collection.Growing Bigis a wonderful first collection. —Deborah Keenan, author of Willow Room, Green Door: New and Selected Poems, and nine other collections","brand":"North Star Press of Saint Cloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027806404848,"sku":"9780878396511","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780878396511_p0.jpg?v=1763839356","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780878396511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
