Derek Walcott (1930-2017), the St. Lucian poet and playwright who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992 for poetry that "acquires at one and the same time singular lustre and great force." By combining the grammar of vision with the freedom of metaphor, Walcott produces a beautiful style that is also a philosophical style. For many years, his throbbing and relentless lines kept arriving in the English language like tidal waves, coagulating into an archipelago of poems without which the map of modern literature would effectively match wallpaper. His work gives us a sense of infinity embodied in the language. Registration is suggested.
