Mixer Summary

Mixer by Andre Mangeot

Egg Box announces Andre Mangeot's long-awaited first full collection, containing 43 of his finest poems to date.

Titled Mixer, each poem begins with a cocktail recipe.

The first poem is about opening a bar up in the evening, and the last about closing it at the end of the night, and in between a host of characters enter and leave, telling their stories in Carveresque fashion. This is a truly unique collection.

Mixer Reviews

George Szirtes, poet: It seems there are almost as many cocktails as there are people. The mixers in Andre Mangeot's book are both. There is an element of Raymond Carver about these poems, in their humanity, their poignancy and their story-telling tightness, but there is also something open-weave, light-of-touch, natural and inviting of performance in them. Dylan Thomas and John Berryman enter and leave Mangeot's bar, which is, we feel, a familiar place. But then that is why we, and so many others, are there. R. V. Bailey, poet: His eye is acute -- for poverty, violence, the cruelties of love ... His poetry shakes the ground, as only good poetry does.
