Reviews

Welch´s books - poems and essays - assure me that life is rich and varied. I can dip in anywhere and be satisfied with a packed experience. The marshes of Sackville are as warmly evoked as are the Dolomites of Italy. Peach brandy at the Hotel Colfosco, a photograph of a friend´s grandchild, the aquarelle of a Luxembourg artist: Welch´s world is full of wonders.

The cosmopolitan landscape of Welch´s work ... stirs one to reflect on one´s own experience ... on the significance of art and life ... She is as at home climbing as teaching or reading or listening to friends in a café.
    William Prouty, The Cormorant, Autumn, 1996

Welch´s captivating chronicles of her summer travels, illuminate the adventures of such other wanderers as Rilke, Nietzche, Giacometti, and Chagall, while also bringing alive places where their creations occurred.
