The African-American colloquialism of "You Think You Grown" is explored in this latest collection of poetry by Jennifer Bush-Harris. In this collection--divided into the sections Mind, Body & Soul--she explores what it means to be a physical woman, yet never truly knowing or being explained what that means, especially when women older than call her 'Baby.' Pieces with the names of 'Ankle Gardens' display her confidence in her body and what it can do, while 'Found, Little Black Girl' has her reckoning with her age, and what it means to continue to do so.
