Description: "David Ignatow is "the gatekeeper between life and death" in Gerald Stern's words."--BOOK JACKET. "In his last poems Living Is What I Wanted, Ignatow is still that gatekeeper. Vibrant with the "life of struggle," as Harvey Shapiro writes, yet facing the end honestly and boldly, the poems span that great divide, acknowledging its necessity and its mystery. In this final collection are some of the most moving and uncompromising poems he ever wrote."--BOOK JACKET.
