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.
