author
Known mainly for a Titanic elegy preserved by Project Gutenberg, this little-documented writer remains something of a mystery. The surviving work offers a direct, early poetic response to one of the 20th century’s most famous disasters.
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable sources available online. Project Gutenberg lists J. H. McKenzie as the author of The Titanic Disaster Poem, a public-domain work inspired by the sinking of the Titanic.
Because dependable reference material appears to be scarce, it is safest to describe J. H. McKenzie as an obscure poet known today primarily through that surviving poem. No clearly verified personal details such as full name, dates, or a fuller life history were found during this search.
