Collected Poems

"In the world of American poetry, Donald Justice wasn't a bit player; he was an Olivier....In most ways, Justice was no different from any number of solid, quiet older writers devoted to traditional short poems. But he was different in one important sense: sometimes his poems weren't just good, they were great. They were great in the way that Elizabeth Bishop's poems were great, or Thom Gunn's or Philip Larkin's. They were great in the way that tells us what poetry used to be, and is, and will be."Justice, Donald is the author of 'Collected Poems', published 2006 under ISBN 9780375710544 and ISBN 037571054X.
