In a radical departure in style and tone, Rob A. Mackenzie’s new collection, Woof! Woof! Woof!, offers biting satire and sweeping social commentary. From the murk of political engagement in an age of offence sensibility, to the bleached-out culture of munificent late-capitalism, Mackenzie’s experimental poems take the reader on an engaging and engaged descent into the sort of purgatory we may never choose to escape from, yet his impish wit offers us all a large dose of saving grace. Sardonic, at times morally exhausted, the poems offer a clear-sighted challenge to the risk of isolationism and powerless relativism.

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.”
