Fen Speak with André Mangeot
We’re back after our summer break, and looking forward to welcoming you back to the Babylon Gallery. Our feature act this month is André Mangeot. André Mangeot’s poetry has appeared in the Spectator, New Statesman and Times Literary Supplement and won many competitions, including the 2019 Robert Graves Prize. His third and latest collection, Blood Rain (Seren, 2020) combines the personal and the public to touch on some of the major challenges now facing the planet. He has also published two books of short stories, A Little Javanese and True North (Salt, 2008 & 2010) and just completed a novel, a political thriller set largely in Romania.
