Alicia,
Thanks for starting this thread, which I am enjoying.
I am not very familiar with Justice's work.
Tom,
I applaud you for speaking your mind, even if I rarely agree with you. I do not know Justice very well, but I enjoyed these poems, but I could see how they could be described as having a journey which is more interesting than the destination. However, you say you could fault them "word for word" which I would have though is one way they could NOT be faulted, so I was wondering if, without necessarily "deconstructing" the whole poem, you could give us an example?
Regards
Oliver.
