New from the author of Nervous Systems, winner of the

National Poetry Series. William Stobb has won acclaim for wide-ranging poetry that features

tender realism, jazzy dissonance, luminous descriptions, and, in the

words of Donald Revell, a ""strange and elegantly accomplished serenity

of tensions attenuated to their uttermost."" The poems in his second

collection, Absentia, see the big picture-the sweep of history,

the ongoing evolution of consciousness, evidence of geological time in

the landscape. Humbled by scales beyond comprehension, Stobb is

nonetheless seduced and stricken by the present in its many

manifestations. Whether dealing with family, friends, or nature, the

poems in Absentia, with their rich emotional palette and vivid,

precise language, respond and transform, calling us to attend to the

wide skies above and inside us.
