Sorry, never saw this notification come through for some reason. I figured out what I needed well enough by just adding text blocks below the product blocks, then offsetting those so they were below each product like a makeshift description. Figured I'd add the solution here for anyone looking for the same thing.
i.e.
#block-yui_[long_block_number_here] {
position: relative !important;
bottom: 40px !important;
}
