About the Author
Rob A. Mackenzie was born in Glasgow and lives in Edinburgh. His previous work includes 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). Carrie Etter, in the TLS, wrote that his first collection impressed "with its distinctive style and energetic exploration of the way we live now." He is reviews editor for Magma Poetry magazine.
Review
Nudging at the curious in the everyday is typical of Mackenzie's work ... These are honest poems with a humane touch that takes them beyond their surface familiarities. A small book but it's consistently interesting.--Jim Burns "Ambit "
Intelligent, well-crafted poems. Witty and humane, with a quiet quirkiness.--Hamish Whyte
Intellectual resourcefulness formal assurance and a copious imagination underpin MacKenzie's intuitive mastery of our post - almost- everything, huge, tiny, sad, happy, global Scottish moment--Donny O'Rourke "Northwords Now "
As they say, you can't break the rules unless you know them, and Mackenzie's clearly qualified to break them.--Tim Love "Literary Reviews "

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Throughout this collection, opposites collide reality and delusion, political activism and apathy, friend and enemy, life and death. Messiahs parachute themselves to disused northern fairgrounds, a woman diets until practically invisible, trained apes teach a colony of drunks how to dance, a bingo night fuels familial despair and love, and an airborne cabbage blasts a cyclist into orbit. With precision of language and a colourful, anarchic spirit, Mackenzies poems focus on their subjects with humanity and hard-won compassion. They have a light touch, but are never trivial. They are for readers who trust that questions are rarely simple and answers never final. Ironic and humorous, complex and engaging, you cant do without The Opposite of Cabbage. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR010956398
