The Vanishing Past by Bob MacKenzie

Bob MacKenzie was born in New Westminster B.C. Much of his childhood and youth were spent walking in the woods and along the shores of Alberta and B.C. from our southern border as far north as the Cariboo. He now lives and writes in Kingston, where he enjoys daily walks along wooded paths and on the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.



Bob MacKenzie’s poetry has appeared in more than 400 journals across North America and as far away as Australia, India, Italy, and Greece. He has published 19 volumes of poetry and prose fiction, including "unbroken" (Cyberwit.net, 2022), "Footsteps in the garden" (Cyberwit.net, 2021), “somewhere still in wind the tree is bending” (Silver Bow Publishing, 2018), “On Edge” (Dark Matter Press, 2012), and “The Little Song” (Brandstead Press, 1975). His poems have appeared in numerous anthologies and have been translated into Arabic, into Greek for an anthology widely distributed in Greece, and into Farsi for two Persian language anthologies published in the United States.



Bob's received numerous local and international awards for his writing as well as an Ontario Arts Council grant for literature, a Canada Council Grant for performance, and a Fellowship to participate in the Summer Literary Seminars in Tbilisi, Georgia.
