William M. (William Mackay) MacKeracher

William Mackay MacKeracher was a Canadian poet born in 1871. Surviving library and public-domain records identify him as the author of Verses of Feeling and Fancy and the 1909 collection Sonnets and Other Verse, which show a taste for formal, musical poetry and meditative subjects.

MacKeracher is not widely documented today, so only a small biographical record seems to remain online. Even so, his work has continued to circulate through archives and audiobook projects, helping modern readers and listeners rediscover a poet whose writing reflects the literary style and sentiment of turn-of-the-century Canada.
