Boy Drinkers

Boy Drinkers looks with sober eyes at the people, tragedies, and traditions that shaped any of us in a community where alcohol and God were equally able to bring us to our knees. With his musicians'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 In a voice that manages to be understated, precise, and casual all at once, Winch exposes us to a set of characters struggling with a world that's challenging too fast not only for them, but for anyone. These are poems you'll remember. Clear-eyed, unsentimental, and hilarious, they'll also break your heart. -Mark Wallace
