Description: Pohl is known today as a Silver-to-Golden-Age science fiction writer, but during his development in the craft became one of its first significant publishers and literary agents.

He knew, worked with and sometimes represented Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and dozens of other household names of the genre.
