Following Shakespeare's command to "Give sorrow words" that introduces Absence, Nancy Manning establishes the overall theme of multiple kinds of loss. Objects like her Noni's cuckoo clock and her father's black-and-red check jacket she saved from the rag bag have great power.

Absence haunts every page of this chapbook where we encounter "loss after loss after loss." We want to turn away but are compelled to look. Manning's beautiful imagery draws us in, as she describes a cemetery where "gray marble shapes / call out names in a dull monotone." At the heart of this moving collection is the poem "Your Absence," that focuses on the speaker's daughter's move to college, which has resulted in "the tidal wave of jewelry, powders...oboe and guitars" being replaced with a silence that can only be filled by imagining the daughter's return, and by extension, poetry. Hope slowly approaches in the form of a "lone mallard [that] paddles to my dock, reminds me summer isn't far away."
