[New-Poetry] Donald Justice: "Time and the Weather"

[Edward Byrne]

This weekend, while the year is yet early and blowing snow continues to
fill the bay window beside me, and as many have adjusted their clocks
for the shift to U.S. Daylight Saving Time—once done after the drift
into spring rather than while still in winter—that occurred between 2
a.m. and 3 a.m., I am once again mindful of Donald Justice, a poet whose
work repeatedly exhibited an exquisite sense of time, both in content
and in style. An interest in the passage of time, including its positive
and negative influences on people or places, frequently was pronounced
among Justice’s favorite themes . . .:
