""Again and again in Christina Hutchins s exquisite "Tender the Maker," poems startle us into awareness of the overlooked, the nearly always invisible (such as a library s unused dictionary), and the marvelous, those aspects of life that come under the rubric of mystery, in all senses of the word. Hutchins combines a pitch-perfect and precise lyricism with a postmodern sensibility of language s materiality. "
Cynthia Hogue, judge for the 2015 May Swenson Poetry Award
""An elegantly crafted, dense work that invites readers to travel on spiritual, philosophical, and historical journeys.""
" Kirkus Reviews""""Tender the Maker"revisits the age-old comparison between poet and deity, highlighting its blind spots, namely the times when creating also means losing, destroying, forgetting.?. . . Each poem becomes a map where time and space intersect and unearth connections that help us confront the weight of history, whether our own or that of others.""
