The interview in this volume with the longtime University of Iowa poet is the longest and most revealing he has ever given. "Donald Justice," a Pulitzer Prize and Bollingen Prize winner, and currently a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, talks affectionately, though not always uncritically, with "Philip Hoy," Between the Lines' publisher, about his early years and studying with Ivor Winters, John Berryman, and Robert Lowell, and answers questions about his work.
