Selected Poems of Derek Walcott by Derek Walcott
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992, Walcott has, in the words of 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.' This work offers a retrospect of the fertile career of Derek Walcott, drawing on twelve collections.
"'Walcott is neither a traditionalist nor a modernistHe 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.' Joseph Brodsky"
Derek Walcott was born in St Lucia in 1930. His Collected Poems 1948-1984 was published in 1986, and his subsequent works include Omeros (1990), Tiepolo's Hound (2000) and The Prodigal (2005). He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992.
