Press Release for Music Event
This is an emailed copy of a press release for Yiddish Ballads sent in February 2007, added to this were two pictures provided by the artist.
“Penniless, ill, and consumed by the fate of his relatives…
Manger went on to publish three volumes of Yiddish poetry
and plays in London…prince among poets, he was dishevelled,
gaunt, and usually had plenty of whisky inside him.”
