Reviews

Lost Signal stretches poetics beyond the linear, taking into account the multiplicity of experiences that shape identity. Hutchinson calls into question not just the future, but the past and the present through smokescreens of afterhours parties, revolution, and the glare of contemporary capitalism/democracy. - Conor Kerr, author of Prairie Edge Chris Hutchinson is one of the most finely tuned poets in Canada, and in this new collection, his intensity and originality are on full display. Lost Signal is a dizzying imaginative ride through a contemporary-culture-assaulted psyche where ""at the pinnacle of distress ... our schemes / dissolve, along with all traces / of their computations."" The ride is a compelling one, shot through with pathos, intellectual acuity, and a subtle and highly affecting creative cry. - Russell Thornton, author of The White Light of Tomorrow
