Surviving the past can be hard work, and to grow tall, to push past expectations, is to become a person who can refuse and thrive. These poems are a moving testament to remembering oneself via harsh and beautiful terrain, to transmuting past violence, and to finding one's way back to being a tall, grassy girl self.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45143459790871,"sku":"9781771669948","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/81r2CGi6j_L._SL1500.jpg?v=1781819163","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/macdonald-tanis-tall-graspb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
