About this listen

 In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Edmonton poet Chris Hutchinson about his newest collection of poetry, Lost Signal (Palimpsest Press, 2025). In Lost Signal, Chris Hutchinson celebrates the resilience and adaptability of language, while locating the tipping points of our ongoing environmental, informational, and humanitarian crises. Subtle semantic shifts mirror ideological rifts — yet lyricism thrives, along with a diversity of perspectives, forms, and styles, affirming faith in the power of the human spirit to challenge the insidious forces shaping our collective present. About Chris Hutchinson: Chris Hutchinson is the author of four previous poetry books, as well as the autofictive verse-novel Jonas in Frames. He has lived all over North America—from Dawson City, Yukon, to Brooklyn, New York—working as a line cook and, more recently, teaching creative writing to undergraduates. He is now a permanent faculty member of the English Department at MacEwan University, located on Treaty 6 Territory. Learn more about your ad choices.
