• Fragments from the broken wheel

  Dublionysus, Mangan’s lurid epic penned in an absinthopium haze. The poet’s correspondence highlights a mysterious redheaded bedmate who tended his fleshly pangs during the tract’s 23 day construction period but her name, like Mangan’s manuscript, is lost.  Themes of national and personal confination abound in Mangan’s work and seem to reify thematically as assignments in…
