Ignatow, David 1914–

Ignatow, an American poet, employs deceptively simple poetic language to reveal what James Dickey terms "a strange, myth-dreaming vision of modern city life." Many of his poems are set in his native New York City. (See also CLC, Vols. 4, 7, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 9-12, rev. ed.)
