Mark Strand on Donald Justice

" I am not sure that Don Justice would want much said about him. He was a fastidiously private person where it mattered, that is, in public. He did not like to call attention to himself, at least not overtly, and cultivated an amiable distance between himself and others, which, over time, would close and finally cease to exist. He was the "thin man" of his poem "The Thin Man."...
I indulge myself    
In rich refusals.
Nothing suffices.
I hone myself to
this edge. Asleep, I
Am a horizon

un' altra poesia..

     Your face more than others' faces
     Maps the half-remembered places
     I have come to I while I slept—
    Continents a dream had kept
    Secret from all waking folk
   Till to your face I awoke,
    And remembered then the shore,

    And the dark interior.
