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 \u003ci\u003eAbsentia\u003c\/i\u003e, with their rich emotional palette and vivid,  precise language, respond and transform, calling us to attend to the  wide skies above and inside us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Stobb\u003c\/b\u003e's debut collection, \u003ci\u003eNervous Systems\u003c\/i\u003e, was a  2006 National Poetry Series winner.
