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 poetry of Liliane Welch explores the secret soul of places and people. It reveals our existence with lucidity and heart.

   Anna Foschi

Like a spiritual travel agent, Welch makes a reservation for each reader to reach the summit of his or her own granite outcropping in our hands before bathing us in stained-glass light ... Expect to be haunted by images of wind swept mountains and clear valley streams, of love and lightning and God.
