The Book of Revelation by Rob A Mackenzie
The Book of Revelationserves as a lonely planet guide to this outrageous place in time. Rob A. Mackenzies apocalyptic nightmare vision encompasses the rags of Empire, political turpitude and blindingly oppressive headlines in a grimly comic phantasmagoria of twenty-first century turmoil.-

Book Made of Forest
This is a dense, allusive, layered collection and I feel I shall need several more readings to really get under its skinThat will be no hardship, and anyway I always feel it is a virtue in a book not to give up all its meaning at once.
-- Sheenagh PughBiting, satirical, polemical and eschatological, this collection is Mackenzie’s attempt to navigate the outrageous labyrinth of the 2010s. Many of the poems talk shop about the poetry world and cock a snook at its self-serving and navel-gazing irrelevance.
-- Richie McCaffery * Northwords *
Rob A. Mackenzie was born in Glasgow and lives in Edinburgh. His previous work includes The Good News (Salt 2013) and The Opposite of Cabbage (Salt 2009) and two pamphlets: Fleck and the Bank (Salt 2012), which dramatized a bank employee’s life during the financial crisis, and The Clown of Natural Sorrow, (HappenStance Press 2005). He is reviews editor at Magma Poetry and his poems, reviews and articles have been published in Poetry Review, Poetry London, The Dark Horse, The North, Shearsman Magazine and many other publications. Phil Clement wrote in the New Welsh Review of The Good News: “It feels as though the poems are charged, booby-trapped… The joy in reading this collection is found in riddling your own perspectives on fate, faith, travel and death.”
