Against the Evidence: Selected Poems, 1934 1994 Bantam After a somewhat haphazard selectionRare poetry concerning human mortality and alienation. For over half a century, David Ignatow has crafted spare, plain, haunting poetry pf working life, urban images, and dark humor. The poetic heir of Whitman and William Carlos Williams, Ignatow is characteristically concerned with human mortality and human alienation in the world: the world as it is, defined by suffering and despair, yet at crucial times redeemed by cosmic vision and shared lives.
