Poetry. "BOY DRINKERS looks with sober eyes at the people, tragedies, and traditions that shaped any of us who grew up in a community where alcohol and God were equally able to bring us to our knees. With his musician's ear and Irishman's humor, Terence Winch pokes fun at the Holy, makes sacred the mundane, and redefines the meaning of "grace"--Meg Kearney.

(Chosen by Washingtonian magazine as the BEST WASHINGTON...)
Chosen by Washingtonian magazine as the BEST WASHINGTON BOOK YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF: "In his underappreciated 1989 story collection Contenders, Terence Winch---better known as a poet and musician (he was a member of the local Irish band Celtic Thunder)---encapsulates twenty- and thirtysomething DC life in the 1970s and '80s. The authentic details―Dupont Circle group houses, live music at the Childe Harold, riding Metro when it was new―bolster these wry, unsentimental tales about the push-me-pull-you of relationships." --- The Washingtonian, December 2003.

This collection contains poems of ten lines, a convention the author likens to playing. The poems, which started out experimenting with referentiality and linearity, became somewhat less unconventional over the course of time.
