		When James Welch died last year, the career of one of the West's most admired authors was cut short in the summer of its fulfillment.
		Only 62, Welch was pondering a sequel to his masterful work of historical fiction, "The Heartsong of Charging Elk," the story of an Oglala Sioux's struggles to sustain his identity and spirit while stranded in a place (19th-century France) and a culture (the white man's, after the end of the Indian wars).
		Welch's interest in Indian history and spiritual life reached its apotheosis in 2000's "The Heartsong of Charging Elk," a novel about an Oglala Sioux warrior who drops out of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show in the late 1800s, is stranded in France and attempts to make a new life in Marseille.

		James Welch was a part of the Montana Renaissance of the 1970's that also gave us William Kitteridge and other less familiar names.
		Welch's poetry is surreal, rich with irony, and lyrical, its clarity of vision balancing gracious delicacy with deep and justified anger.

	Salon.com Books \| "The Heartsong of Charging Elk" by James Welch
		Welch's novel moves with sensual grace -- slow but never sluggish, and always seeming, with its plain measured cadences, to be building toward something, to be growing inside itself.
		Brief quoting won't do it justice; Welch may be a poet, but "The Heartsong of Charging Elk" isn't constructed with the kind of fevered language and punchy phrasings typical of what are considered "poetic" novels.
		What James Welch has produced, ultimately, is a novel with an expansiveness of heart and mind, an intimate analogue of Indian estrangement worthy of any readerly voyage.

		Welch is a Blackfoot novelist and poet...and one of the finest writers in the current renaissance of western fiction.

	Diamonds and Turquoise: The Poetry of N. Scott Momaday
		Welch's surrealism is a literary style, but Young Bear's represents the world apprehended from a Mesquakie perspective.
		Welch's literary roots are academic poetry schools and his work more influenced by Stafford, Tate, and Hugo than by tribal storytellers; Young Bear holds no academic degrees; his poems are composed in Mesquakie and then translated during the writing process.
		Whether more traditional than Young Bear or more assimilated intellectually than Welch, the contemporary American Indian author is a person between two worlds, a mediator—to the extent he can be, she chooses to be—between white literacy and an Indian culture little removed from alliteracy.

	Book Reviews Volume 12.3
		In his Foreword, James Welch prepares the ground for this pictorial "chronicle of the many battles, massacres, and broken treaties that led directly to the dire Indian condition today" and pays tribute to Drex Brooks's production as "a brave, true look at a shameful, neglected moment in the history of [hu]mankind" (xii).
		This book left me to unfold the images of Pine Ridge and beyond, desperation I cannot imagine and, at its center, a poet who insists on writing the South Dakota landscape as it is. He will not change it or beautify it for the outside reader.
		He is an undeniably humane voice for the baby about to bloom in the teenage girl, for the coyote cornered in the maze of street lights, for the papier-maché houses built to keep us from mourning.
