The range of eloquent interviews with friends and colleagues about the late poet Donald Justice that this team has collected have come together to form a program that is gently passionate but sprawling. I can well understand how very important this artist is, especially to Iowa - but I had the feeling that the (many) producers of this piece just couldn't bear to leave anything out (or perhaps they disagreed!), and that this keeps the program from finding a strong thread to pull the listener along. That, and a rather odd decision to often play classical musical behind the speakers, no matter what they're talking about, very quietly, as though to suggest they're all in the same living room with the stereo playing. Listeners are going to have to be very, very interested in poetry and poets to make it through to the high point, which is the work itself. The time spent on people saying he was brilliant, and talented, and special far outweigh the time we get treated to work itself (which we in fact do, and very nicely at the end) Insiders might think Justice poems are something understood, that they're known everyone who might be listening. If only that were true!
