Jefferson’s review of Abbie Kiefer’s debut poetry book, Certain Shelter, was published in Another Chicago Magazine.
"In Kiefer’s Maine, the trucks, soon to contain slaughtered chickens, have 'waiting mouths,' 'the air [has] feathers'—as if all that’s left of that life is scattered to the wind. Kiefer braids losses throughout the book; it can feel as if loss, like farm grit, 'filters into every soft thing.'”
