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","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408458768535,"sku":"9780143120186","price":1873.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143120186.webp?v=1767309942","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/absentia-9780143120186","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
