Mitch’s debut collection was published as part of the Rabbit Poets Series in late 2023.

“Mitchell Welch’s Vehicular Man is an irresistible work of linguistic bravura and invention that carries critical thought as it leaps over disappearing steps into the tangential surreal. From word to word, phrase to phrase, image to image enhanced by repetition, Welch’s associative logic creates a poetic universe full of provocation, seeings-into and ludic energy.”
— Poet and author, Dominique Hecq

“These well-observed lyrics stake a place in the world, a cynicism rebarred with determination. Welch’s vibraphonic language demands acknowledgement.”
— Judges’ report, Queensland Literary Awards

“His dictionary-craving words and strict command of rhythm and metre seem destined to win prizes.”
— Review by Sam Ryan at Cordite Poetry Review.
