Rice Pudding Poetry

Episode 16

"Ephemerality"

 

Episode 16 of The Rice Pudding Poetry Podcast welcomes poet Abbie Kiefer, together with composer and multi-instrumentalist Kent Allyn, and Community Readers Becky May, Mac Petty, Anne Woods, and Rebecka Dykstra, all performing in a show called Ephemerality. 

 

Abbie is the author of Certain Shelter, published last year by June Road Press, and the chapbook Brief Histories. Her work is forthcoming or has appeared in Copper Nickel, Gulf Coast, The Missouri Review, Pleiades, Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner, The Southern Review, and other places. 

 

Many of the poems you'll hear on this show are drawn from Certain Shelter, a collection that contemplates crisscrossing losses: the death of a parent and the fading of a Maine mill town. As it gives voice to grief, this collection also considers how to find solace in an altered world.
