This valuable collection tells us a great deal about the life and work of David Ignatow.... These letters reveal Ignatow converting his dreams and sorrows into poetry and his life into a much broader condition. - Small Press ""[Offers] a wealth of new and often significant information.... An important addition to the body of Ignatow's work, one that reveals a poet devoted to his fellow writers and to an art that must have seemed to him an obscure, futile desire at times. Ultimately the measure of a collection like this is whether or not it sends its readers back to the poetry. Time and time again Talking Together does just this."" - South Atlantic Quarterly ""The U.S. Postal Service should issue a stamp to commemorate Ignatow, for no man, whether poet or politician, has used the mail with such diligence and dedication.... Talking Together is candid, revealing, opinionated, and sensitive."" - Ohioana Quarterly
