Résumé
In this engaging memoir, former Idaho Supreme Court Justice Byron Johnson reveals a story of life in Idaho politics, law, and literature, taking us from his Boise High School graduation in 1955 to Harvard, the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention, a… run for the U.S. Senate, raising a family during the eruptive 1960s and 70s, his appointment to the Idaho Supreme Court in 1988, an unsuccessful climb up Mt. McKinley, a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, and ultimately his devotion to poetry to explore more deeply the human truth of a time, a place, and a life. Originally penned for his family alone to read, Poetic Justice is for anyone interested in contemporary history and a memorable era of Idaho politics to which many look back upon nostalgically. Written with great candor and clarity, Johnson weaves a tale of larger-than-life figures on the local and national stage, offering a unique addition to the canon of memoirs, biographies and stories of 20th century Idaho.
