Synopsis
Musician/songwriter Terence Winch, author of Contenders and Irish Musicians/American Friends, continues his unique, robust examinations of the American psyche. Winch was selected by Irish America magazine as one of the "Top 100 Irish Americans."
Barbara Guest chose The Great Indoors as winner of the Columbia Book Award:
"My selection for the 1996 Columbia Book Award is The Great Indoors by Terence Winch. I admire its atmosphere of the bitter-sweet, the expert sense of line, and its many subtle and humorous ways of Washington, D.C. I have lived in Washington and Winch understands the drift of those unenclosed by political boundaries, of the way day passes into night in that city. He has caught the essence of many moods, without exploiting them."

From the Back Cover
" 'I felt an intense craving for simplicity' writes Terence Winch in his poem 'In the Milky Light.' That craving has been more than fulfilled in this wonderful new collection. It turns out that intensity and simplicity add up to something that is more than the sum of their parts, something very much like being awake and alive in this particular moment, in one's skin, in one's clothes." --- John Ashbery
"Terence Winch's poems ... resonate with an indelibly intimate narrative music that's as irresistible as the unassuming logic and equanimity that propel them ... It's as if you're suddenly listening to the only guy in the neighborhood talking any sense ... Sexy, goofy, lyrical, and astute, it's writing that gets the job done with incredible pleasure to spare." --- Ed Friedman, Director, St. Mark's Poetry Project, NYC
"Terence Winch is a cryptic urban romantic. His poems skid and glide in and out of focus, emptying out with a wry, postmodern whoosh and then being filled back up again, slowly, with a little dose of glittering liquid, like a glass subject to the ministrations of a devoted bartender." --- Amy Gerstler
