Superb
3 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This really is a wonderful anthology. Baugh is to be congratulated for his selection of Walcott poems. What is most impressive about this book is the remarkable consistency of superb and characteristic poetry from the beginnings of Walcott's career to more recent work. The themes of exile, Walcott's ambivalent relationship with the European canon, and the nature of colonialism run throughout the work. Much of this work is autobiographical, presenting Walcott's remarkable ability to translate personal experience into beautiful language and universal themes.
A Journey to St. Lucia
11 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
My Dad earns trips with his business and this summer we got to go to the beautiful island of St. Lucia. I love to go to new countries and learn about their history, culture, and people. I love to read and I am also a writer of everything from fiction to poetry. So imagine my joy when I discovered that St. Lucia had their very own Nobel award winning poet by the name of Derek Walcot! I was determined to bring home a copy of his work. However, before I was able to go out and get a book of his work, I got terribly sick and stayed that way until it was time to leave. So I got on Amazon the day before we left to see which Derek Walcot books I could order when I got home. They all went on my wish list and that was that. Until I was looking in the shops at the airport and found Selected Poems by Derek Walcot! I decided for sentimental reasons, even though it was cheaper on Amazon, I had to buy at least one of his books actually on St. Lucian soil. So this is my little story of why I took this book off my wish list and I hope you enjoy it. And I am simply mad about Derek Walcot!

I bought this book for my girlfriend, who is an English major. She loves this author and book, so I recommend it for similar tastes.
