Description
|
|
|
|
This collection offers an ordered retrospective of the fertile career of Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott, drawing from a dozen books of poetry across six decades. Walcott has, in the words of fellow Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney, "moved with gradually deepening confidence to found his own poetic domain, independent of the tradition he inherited yet not altogether orphaned from it," while another winner, Joseph Brodsky, assays "Walcott is neither a traditionalist nor a modernist. He belongs to no school.... He can be naturalistic, expressionistic, surrealistic, imagistic, hermetic, confessional—you name it.... He is the man by whom the English language lives."
