When Donald Justice wrote in On a Picture by Burchfield that art keeps long hours, he might have been describing his own life. Although he early on struggled to find a balance between his life and art, the latter became a way of experiencing his life more deeply. He found meaning in human experience by applying traditional religious language to his artistic vocation. Central to his work was the translation of the language of devotion to a learned American vernacular. Art not only provided him with a wealth of intrinsically worthwhile experiences but also granted rich and nuanced ways of experiencing, understanding, and being in the world. For Donald Justicerecipient of some of poetrys highest laurels, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Bollingen Prize, and the Lannan Literary Award for Poetryart was a way of life.Because Jerry Harp was Justices student, his personal knowledge of his subjectcombined with his deep understanding of Justices oeuvreworks to remarkable advantage in For Us, What Music? Harp reads with keen intelligence, placing each poem within the precise historical moment it was written and locating it in the context of the literary tradition within which Justice worked. Throughout the text runs the narrative of Justices life, tying together the poems and informing Harps interpretation of them. For Us, What Music? grants readers a remarkable understanding of one of Americas greatest poets.
