Includes bibliographical references (p. 175-176).
In 1959, Justice's first collection won the Lamont Prize; 20 years later his Selected Poems won the Pulitzer. In 1987, The Sunset Maker (poems and other works) appeared and A Donald Justice Reader, another selection of mostly poems, followed in 1991.

Meter and rhyme are featured throughout. If not using (often irregularly)a classic form, Justice improvises one, melding language, meaning and rhythm in a seemingly seamless whole.
