It Is As If Desire is a collection of occasional poems (poems written for specific occasions) that examine, deconstruct, disrupt, and celebrate love and friendship.
It Is As If Desire is Terence Winch's tenth book of poems. He has also written two story collections, Contenders and That Special Place: New World Irish Stories, the latter drawing on his experiences as a founding member of the original Celtic Thunder, the acclaimed Irish band. An American Book Award and Columbia Book Award winner, Winch is also the recipient of an NEA Fellowship in poetry and a Gertrude Stein Award for Innovative Writing.
