Tupelo Quarterly 31 published a five-poem portfolio of Jefferson’s poems with an introduction by Virginia Konchan:
Navicky is alive to the contradictions between what is and what could be, or could have been; his narrative imagination, borrowing from Borges, sees the infinity and infinite potential within everyday people, situations, objects, and relationships. These poems, a bildungsroman in verse, ground us in the material world, while awakening us to the magnetic connections between words, and in so doing, he evinces his gifts as both storyteller and bard, of unimagined places, yes, but also our memories of youth and young, tender, selves: a nested story within a story revealed as ripe to be mined, to be seen otherwise, felt, and believed.
