Fellow Nebraska Poet William Kloefkorn has been quoted as saying, "Don Welch moves among the poor like a modern day Whitman who has mastered the fine art of pruning…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."〔("What the Critics Say About Don Welch" ) Nebraska Center for Writers at Creighton University.
