Hutton's book of poems On the Vanishing of Large Creatures
won the John C. Zacharis First Book Award. "Throughout this book,
moments, habits, relationships and objects are illuminated in such a way
as to make the reader do a double-take, to reevaluate and appreciate the
overlooked, the taken for granted. The accomplishment of Susan Hutton's
beautifully written first volume is that it leaves the reader grateful
and renewed, content to have come this far, and to recognize that we
stand at the head of a trail of relics that make up our lives." -- John Skoyles, Zacharis Prize Judge.
A former Stegner Fellow at Stanford, Susan lives in Ann Arbor, MI with her husband and two children.
