Don Welch moves among the poor like a modern day Whitman who has mastered the fine art of pruning. The poor, he says, “need the dump and truck of love / to walk on too.” With a minimum of words he evokes a maximum of feelings and sympathies. The rest of us need the poet’s words to bring us those places we have neither the time nor the courage to explore.
