Alicia -
Thanks for the post, and for turning me on to Donald Justice. Like Oliver, I wasn't very familiar with his work. There are intelligent, witty at times, and beautifully written - and The Tourist from Syracuse is chilling.
I want to get some of his work, googled, and found seven publications. Selected Poems (1979) won the Pulitzer. A 1995 collection, A Donald Justice Reader, covers four decades, was praised by Dana Goia in an on-line review, and seems like the best bet. Do you -or anybody else - have a suggestion?
