Product Description

Review

'This is a rich, hugely ambitious work, the mighty poem of a major poet in the full flight of his authority and curiosity, a Victorian-scale construction which thrilled me and which I will read again and again.' Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph; 'Tiepolo's Hound is a long, complex but coherent, almost Wordsworthian account of the growth of the poet's mind, which is interwoven with a biographical study, or poetic re-creation of the life and art of Camille Pissarro... beautifully written.' Vernon Scannell, Sunday Telegraph; 'Walcott explores the connections between the landscapes of childhood and those of art, he enters the mind of exile, unteases the presumptions of Empire...' Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times

Product Description

"Tiepolo's Hound" joins the quests of two Caribbean men: Camille Pisarro, who leaves his native St Thomas to follow his vocation as a painter in Paris; and the poet himself, longing to rediscover a detail from a Venetian painting encountered on an early visit to New York.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eat your heart out, Oxford University, 9 Jul 2009

By	Cafe Poet (Bath, England) - See all my reviews

To think Oxford University could have had the writer of this marvellous, challenging book as its Professor of Poetry! A master craftsman weaving in and out of his richly multicultural world . Intriguing and full of surprises . Read and then read again.
