Description
The poetry of Lawrence Welsh crosses many borders, from South Central Los Angeles, where he was raised, to El Paso, where he has lived for almost twenty years. A newspaper man turned poet, a punk rock songwriter who became an English teacher, an Irishman at home in Texas, Welsh gives voice to the famous, the infamous, and the forgotten. Review: This writing is an earthly gift and proves that desert souls and cantina dwellers come from the same fractured spirit as they wander over the terrain in search of answers. -- Bloomsbury Review
