André Mangeot is a professional charity fundraiser who lives and works in Cambridge.   His poetry and short stories have appeared in many magazines and journals including The Times Literary Supplement, Daily Express and London Magazine.

In recent years he has won prizes in the Bridport and Wigton/Scottish National poetry competitions and been shortlisted for the TLS/Blackwells prize.  He is a member of the performance group Joy of Six ( www.joyofsix.co.uk ) which has played at venues across England and Wales, and in New York.

A short selection of his work, Natural Causes ( Shoestring, 2003) is now in its   second   edition.    His   first   full-length   collection,   Mixer , was published in May 2005 by Egg Box Press and a book of short stories, A Little Javanese, by Salt in 2008.

Comments on his work:

Mixer’ is a glorious book.- he looks through a glass (or bottle) brightly at so many aspects of humanity ... great premise, excellent execution.

Alicia Ostriker
 

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 and inviting of performance in them.

George Szirtes
 

His eye is acute – for poverty, violence, the cruelties of love … His poetry shakes the ground, as only good poetry does .

Prof R.V Bailey in Envoi
