I have long admired the poetry of Terrence Winch, whose work I first noticed in Michael Lally’s mid-1970s anthology of maverick poets from Crossing Press, NONE OF THE ABOVE. I wrote a review of Winch’s BOY DRINKERS that Paul Vangelisti published in NEW REVIEW OF LITERATURE many years ago. I am hardly alone in the pleasure I get from reading Winch. Other poets and critics who have admired his work include Maureen Owen, Denise Duhamel, Michael Lally, Bob Hicok, Charles Bernstein, Marjorie Perloff, Billy Collins, Steve Kowit, Mark Wallace, Meg Kearney, Joan Retallack, and Matthew Rohrer.
