Homecoming: Anse la Raye Requires Real Player "Poetry, is perfection's sweat but which must seem as fresh as the raindrops on a statue's brow", claimed Walcott in his Nobel speech. Here, the poet of the Caribbean, illustrates this apparent ease of writing and shows us how fragmented memory is central to his poetry. (for Garth St Omer) Whatever else we learned at school, like solemn Afro-Greeks eager for grades, of Helen and the shades of borrowed ancestors, there are no rites for those who have returned only, when her looms fade, drilled in our skulls, the doom- surge-haunted nights, only this well-known passage under the coconuts' salt-rusted swords, these rotted leathery sea-grape leaves, the seacrabs' brittle helmets, and this barbecue of branches, like the ribs of sacrificial oxen on scorched sand; only this fish-gut reeking beach whose frigate stuck like buzzards overhead whose spindly, sugar-headed children race pelting up from the shallows because your clothes, your posture seem a tourist's. They swarm like flies round your heart's sore.

Gedichte von Derek Walcott Übersetzt von Johannes Beilharz Auf den Virgin Islands Für Bill und Pat Strachan Die Dünung der Orgel der anglikanischen Kirche St. Croix in Christianstead wird von der Stimme des Fallschirmjägers verdrängt: "Nach Vietnam zur Polizei. Dreißigmal abgesprungen." Glocken bestrafen die tote Straße, Tauben taumeln, ihre Schirme öffnend, vom Glockenturm und drehen sich in Kreisen, bis die Ringe des Läutens aufhören. "Salud!" Der Fallschirmjäger hebt sein Glas. Die Gemeinde erhebt sich wie eine Patrouille, mit schlurfenden Schuhen und Stiefeln, und wiederholt Befehle, während die Orgel donnert: "Preiset den Herrn. Der Name des Herrn sei gepriesen." Jenseits des stillen Hafens kann man die Brecher nicht an den geschrammten Horizont feuern hören, noch die Charterflugzeuge, die auf Buck Island zuschießen. Der einzige Krieg hier ist ein stiller

31. Bookfinder.US: Walcott Derek Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott is one of the Caribbean's most famous writers.......Derek Walcott Edward Baugh 052155358X March 2006 Hardcover Book http://www.bookfinder.us/Literature___Fiction/Poets__A-Z/Walcott__Derek.html

Poets A-Z Walcott Derek Derek Walcott Edward Baugh March 2006 Hardcover Book Description Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott is one of the Caribbean's most famous writers. His unique voice in poetry, drama and criticism is shaped by his position at the crossroads between Caribbean, British and American culture and by his interest in hybrid identities and diaspora. Edward Baugh's Derek Walcott analyses and evaluates Walcott's entire career over the last fifty years. Baugh guides the reader through the continuities and differences of theme and style in Walcott's poems and plays. Walcott is an avowedly Caribbean writer, acutely conscious of his culture and colonial heritage, but he has also made a lasting contribution to the way we read and value the western literary tradition. This comprehensive survey considers each of Walcott's published books, offering the most up-to-date guide available for students, scholars... The Prodigal Derek Walcott Oct 2004 Hardcover From Publishers Weekly Travelogue, elegy, autobiography and lush description mingle and merge in the prolific Nobel laureate's latest book-length poem. Walcott (Omeros; Tiepolo's Hound; etc.) has long specialized in poems about places and journeys, and the first parts of his new work sound like more of the same: flowing pentameters remember stints in Milan, Colombia, the Swiss Alps, Manhattan and Berlin, each associated with a brace of elaborate images, as well as with a particularly attractive young woman. Describing these "women who contained their cities" and the history those cities hold, Walcott traces an "untethered pilgrimage" in which "what was altered was something more profound/ than geography, it was the self." If some readers find the first half of the volume unanchored (or too much like Walcott's 1982 book Midsummer), the...

Measure against our books, prices and service to the competition. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Train: New Description A DAZZLING NEW COLLECTION FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POETS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In White Egrets , Derek Walcott treats the characteristic subjects of his career—the Caribbean’s complex colonial legacy, his love of the Western literary tradition, the wisdom that comes through the passing of time, the always strange joys of new love, and the sometimes terrifying beauty of the natural world—with an intensity and drive that recall his greatest work. Through the mesmerizing repetition of theme and imagery, Walcott creates an almost surflike cadence, broadening the possibilities of rhyme and meter, poetic form and language. White Egrets is a moving new collection from one of the most important poets of the twentieth century—a celebration of the life and language of the West Indies. It is also a triumphant paean to beauty, love, art, and—perhaps most surprisingly—getting older.

Although acclaimed as a poet, Mr. Walcott is also a playwright, journalist and painter. He has often been praised for his ability to fuse the classics, folklore and history and to combine the vernacular and the grand manner. One of Mr. Walcott's finest poetic work, "Omeros" (1990) runs 325 pages. Its principal characters have names taken from the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" of Homer. The poem was meant to capture "the whole experience of the people of the Caribbean," Mr. Walcott said. skos:inScheme http://data.nytimes.com/elements/nytd_per skos:prefLabel - en Walcott, Derek http://data.nytimes.com/N85128287073934402493.rdf cc:attributionName The New York Times Company cc:attributionURL http://data.nytimes.com/N85128287073934402493
