{"product_id":"growing-up-me-9781479755097","title":"Growing up Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese poems were culled from my writings of the past thirty years. Sorting through them, I noticed that many were about my childhood; I decided this would be the theme for a book. Getting Above Myself was my first title: it meant three things to me: a childhood notion of the greatest crime one could commit, an ironic take on that idea and finally, the perspective needed for me to see clearly the events I was writing about. This seemed too complicated to convey in just a title. Next I thought of Growing Up plain, straightforward, but also imprecise. I am neither social worker nor psychologist. What I have to share is my personal experience. So, Growing Up Me. The thirty-eight poems in this book cover a period from my birth through high school. They are arranged chronologically by subject and cover such topics as education, family dynamics, the church, and my growing awareness that I was gay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53036281626903,"sku":null,"price":538.56,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781479755097.jpg?v=1781008493","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/growing-up-me-9781479755097","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
