The Drift of Things

By Terence Winch and Cleo Qian

Poetry. In this technically impressive collection, the poems offer a witty, intrepid, unsentimental response to pleasures of the flesh as well as to pain and soreness of spirit, extracting their subjects from the drift of things. A clear-eyed and authentic chronicler of his Irish-American tribe, Winch has a beautifully tuned ear, whether working in formal mode or in supple lines of free verse. In all their zany plainspoken ways, these poems sing - Eamon Grennan. I wish I lived in the world Terence Winch inhabits. Something invisible and mythical ennobles every object he encounters. His poems are full of a carefree confidence that comes from being so good at what you do that you don't think twice about mixing elegies, villanelles, jokes, traditional rhymes, and a story about a one-eyed guy named Max - Matthew Rohrer.
