About Donald Justice

  • Donald Justice (August 12, 1925 – August 6, 2004) was an American poet and teacher of writing.
  • In summing up Justice's career David Orr wrote, "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."
