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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the poem titles are named after cocktails:  Atta Boy  Blood and Sand  Welcome, Stranger  Fallen Angel  Alaska  Daily Mail  Clap of Thunder  Amsterdam  Tornado  AWOL  Starboard Light  Zipper  Bull Dog  Great Secret  Novocaine  Green Room  Scotch Mist  Brainstorm  Garryowen  Alexei's Sister  Dunlop  A Fine Balance  Pete  Southern Belle  Sanctuary  Babies  Sunset  Henry's Last Hurrah  Smokey  S.W.1  Slipstream  Wobbly Knee  Cowboy  Thistle  Deep Sea  Ward Eight  Ceasefire  Firebird  Crossbow  Upstairs  Summer Rain  Affinity  Beam Me Up Scotty","brand":"UEA Publishing Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406552899927,"sku":"9780954392048","price":6.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780954392048.jpg?v=1730496260","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mixer-egg-box-fivers-no-3-egg-box-fivers-s-9780954392048","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
