Description
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, Mackenzie's 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 can't do without The Opposite of Cabbage.
