Author of dozens of books poems, essays, plays Walcott has garnered countless honors, including a MacArthur "genius" grant. He has transformed the imperial English of the West Indies into what poet Alison Hawthorne Deming calls "a new way of singing." Walcott's interest in drama dates back to his college days. After graduating from the University of the West Indies, he was awarded a fellowship by the Rockefeller Foundation to study the American theater, after which he returned to the Caribbean to found the Trinidad Theater Workshop, which produced many of his early plays. He went on to win an Obie Award for "Dream on Monkey Mountain," and his poetic dramas have been produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival, the Mark Taper Forum and the Negro Ensemble Company.

Extractions: It's Oct. 8, just about dawn, the hour of paperboys and doughnut makers. The sun does a coy fan dance behind scattered clouds, as Indian summer tries to shrug off the hint of a frost. Poet Derek Walcott is up early as usual, writing at the desk in his Brookline condominium. He's wrestling with a particularly peevish quatrain when the Swedish Academy calls with the news. He has won the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature. The first call is the sweet one, but the phone soon becomes an irritable intrusion. NPR and NBC call. CNN and CBS and every other network in the business want a "live" comment. A ragtag pack of reporters follows the poet to the neighborhood coffee shop. ("The local geriatrics were going, 'What's a Nobel? Is that a bagel?' " Walcott recalls.) Frank Capra meets Franz Kafka in this curious scene, upbeat yet slightly absurd. "I feel like a third-rate congressman," says the poet, who awoke to find himself transformed into a Nobel laureate. "I'm having a hit movie, 'The Exorcist IV.' " The Fourth Estate dogs him with Stupid Press Questions at Boston University, where Walcott teaches English and playwriting. Does he have any regrets? "There are things I wish I had written, like 'Now is the winter of our discontent.' " Describe a typical day. "I work very early until noon, then look at nonsense on the TV in my pajamas." Why does he rise at dawn? ''To smoke."

Extractions: 'The Walcott line is still sponsored by Shakespeare and the Bible, happy to surprise by a fine excess," Seamus Heaney has remarked about the poetry of Derek Walcott. "It can be incantatory and self-entrancing, as in the early 'Sea-Chantey' and the later 'Season of Phantasmal Peace.' It can be athletic and demotic as in 'Tales of the Islands' or 'The Spoiler's Return.' It can compel us with the almost hydraulic drag of its words.' " Coming of age on the Windward island of St. Lucia, then a British dependency, Walcott heard and absorbed a Creole patois all around him. He learned English in school almost as a foreign tongue. "Perhaps that makes us value English the more," he once said. Those influences, the Caribbean and the sonorous literary traditions of English, fuse in his art. The rhythms of island speech and the sea are tempered by the lords of language the Elizabethans, Virgil and Horace, and other classical bards, cavalier and roundhead poets Walcott read during childhood. That background preserved his poetry from the perils of the folkloric and insular, even as it retained the pungency of spoken, living words. His themes as a poet have been remarkably consistent, almost from the start. Walcott's fledgling play as a college undergraduate in Jamaica dealt with Henri-Christophe, the freed slave who helped Toussaint L'Ouverture liberate Haiti from the French rule, but who then became a despot. The islander haunted by the colonial past and his ambivalent feelings about the island's present is a constant in Walcott's volumes. A wanderer, he seeks the meaning of home, a place where he might heal the divisions of his society and

In play after play, poem after poem and especially in his recent epic poem Omeros . Walcott explores the burden of cultural pasts ( Omeros is itself Walcott's Caribbean Odyssey ), and how those pasts contend within his heroic, if all-too-human, characters."
