Reviews

Liliane Welch´s poetry re-wakens the reader to a "tangible faith" in the radiance of daily life. Whether her subject be history or society, art or nature, her poems affirm the realty of courage, the presence of love, the value of labour, the power of art, and, above all the sublime beauty of nature - "that relentless peace of the wild." Reading Welch´s poetry is a restorative and spiritually enlightening experience.

Welch´´s poems are a collector´s treasure, fascinating miniatures set in a music of their own. We recognize the distilled essence of tales and emotions both remote and intimate. We will hang them on the walls of our minds, illuminations that guide us across the maze of our hopes and dreams.
   Marie-Anne Hansen-Pauly

Welch´s poems are ladders to spirituality as well as an expression of love in its deepest, most intense and confident form. Her journeys about the world become poems whereby a map of life may be assembled. She is one of Canada´s most powerful literary voices.
