Who Is Donald Justice?
Donald Justice (1925—2004) is the most important Miami-born poet, living or dead. A winner of nearly every major literary award, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Bollingen Prize, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry and grants from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations, Justice is one of the most important poets of the 20th Century. He was also an influential and beloved teacher. Over a 30+ year teaching career, Justice taught many of today’s most important living writers.

To read Justice’s work, pick up a copy of his Collected Poems (Knopf, 2006), and visit the databases at the Academy of American Poets and 
the Poetry Foundation.

For an in-depth look at Justice, plan a visit to Special Collections at the Morris Library at the University of Delaware.
