Poetry. David Ignatow is the gate-keeper between life and death in
Gerald Stern's words. His last poems in LIVING IS WHAT I WANTED are
vibrant with the life of struggle, as Harvey Shapiro writes, yet
face the end honestly and boldly, spanning that great divide and
acknowledging its necessity and its mystery. Did I fall in love to
look back upon it/ as a lesson on how not to live/ if living was
what I wanted? A poet of compassion, the greatest we have had, says
Robert Bly. Whenever you are near Ignatow, you are near depth.
Deceptively plain-spoken, David Ignatow actually is a master of the
understated perception, and here he utters his last truths that are
sometimes harsh, always wise and deep. Dark wonder is his song...
-- Grace Schulman.
