Extractions: On Derek Walcott... Nobel Prize for Literature, 1992 by Annie Greet IN selecting Derek Walcott, 62-year-old West Indian poet and playwright, as this years recipient of the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy has continued to acknowledge the leading role played by writers from places once designated as being "outside the metropolis". Simultaneously, in drawing world attention to the oft-misrepresented West Indies, the Academy has been instrumental in offering access to them as reflected in the words of a master poet and dramatist. The award is also a tribute to a virile, vital Caribbean literature, the English-language multi-island tradition which consists of such powerful figures as C.L.R. James, Jean Rhys, V.S. Naipaul, Wilson Harris, Louise Bennett, George Lamming, Roger Mais, John Hearne, Olive Senior, Sam Selvon, Jamaica Kincaid...and so many others. Derek Alton Walcott was born on the island of St. Lucia, two hundred kilometres north of Trinidad. As a young man, he studied for an arts degree in Jamaica, and taught in St. Lucia, Jamaica and Grenada. His mother, a school teacher, helped finance the publishing of a small book of his poems when he was eighteen, and ten years later, in 1958, he was awarded a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship to study theatre in the united States of America. The following year he went to Trinidad and founded the Little Carib Theatre Workshop, later the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, in Port of Spain, and between 1960 and 1968, produced regular columns on art, theatre and literature for

Born in 1930 in the town of Castries on the island of St. Lucia, a former British colony in the Lesser Antilles, Mr. Walcott attended the University of the West Indies, in Jamaica. In 1957, he was awarded a Rockefeller Grant to study the American theater, and he went on to found the Trinidad Theatre Workshop and to have his plays produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the New York Shakespeare Festival, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and the Negro Ensemble Company. His plays include Dream on Monkey Mountain The Joker of Seville O Babylon!

Extractions: Derek Walcott Nobel Prize laureate Derek Walcott leads off the Graduate School's Distinguished Lecturer Series Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. in Room 2203 of the Art-Sociology Building. Walcott, an acclaimed poet and dramatist, shares his experiences growing up in the Caribbean as well as his achievements in the world of literature. Also, he will read selections from several of his books. In 1992, Walcott won the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981. Walcott, the first lecturer for the series, was born in St. Lucia in the Lesser Antilles. After studying at the University of the West Indies , he moved to Trinidad, where he worked as a theater and art critic and founded the Trinidad Theater Workshop in 1959, which produced many of his earlier plays. His breakthrough came in 1962 with the release of a collection of poems titled In a Green Light. During the last decade, Walcott completed other works, including Omeros, a 64-chapter epic that intertwines Homeric legend, classics, folklore and history released in 1990. The Bounty, his most recent work, published in 1997, is another collection of poems. Walcott, having grown up on an isolated volcanic island and ex-British colony, has been an assiduous traveler but has always felt himself deeply rooted in Caribbean society with its cultural fusion of African, Asiatic and European influences.

http://www.yudev.com/mfo/britlit/walcott_derek.htm

Extractions: Walcott is perhaps the most important West Indian poet and dramatist writing in English today. He is a Nobel laureate widely known for his vivid portrayal of Caribbean culture and his inventive use of language. Derek Walcott was born in 1930 on the island of St. Lucia, West Indies, to an English father and an African mother. Trained in Greek and Roman classics by the British school system, he boldly combines white literary forms with black contemporary issues. Rebekah Presson noted, Walcotts plays and poems are distinguished by the tensions between the European and African/Caribbean cultures, and by the resolution of those tensions. In play after play, poem after poemand especially in his recent epic poem Omeros Walcott explores the burden of cultural pasts ( Omeros is itself Walcotts Caribbean Odyssey ), and how those pasts contend within his heroic, if all-too-human, characters. Rita Dove said that though Walcott for years taught in U.S. universities, No matter where he finds himself, he carries his island inside. From 1959 to 1976, Walcott directed the Trinidad Theater Workshop, which staged some of his plays.

Extractions: Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 80 pages; $18 Division runs like a seam through the biography of the Nobel Prize-winning Caribbean-born poet Derek Walcotthis task has been to make it more boon than burden. He and his twin brother, Roderick, were born in 1930 in St. Lucia, a small link in the Antilles island chain, then part of the British West Indies. Walcott's was a British education. The paucity of books in his native St. Lucia led, paradoxically, to an excellent literary education grounded in the heavily accented rhythms of Shakespeare, the Anglican hymnal, and the King James Bible. Even as he pursued a college education, Walcott absorbed the parallel oral culture of the Caribbean, particularly audible in his plays, some of which adopt his native Creole dialect. His early poems register both geographical distances and the divisions within himself. In Crusoe's Island (1965), he is both Robinson Crusoe and "Friday's progeny,/ The brood of Crusoe's slave." His more recent poetry, especially the epic

Extractions: Best Known for: Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 1992 Bio: Derek Alton Walcott was the 1992 recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature Walcott West-Indian heritage has had a strong influence on Walcott's life and work. Both his grandmothers were said to have been the descendants of slaves. His father, an Englishman was a Bohemian water-painter living in St. Lucia died when Derek and his twin brother, Roderick, were only a few years old. His mother ran the town's Methodist school. After studying at St. Mary's College in his native island and at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, Walcott moved in 1953 to Trinidad, where he has worked as theatre and art critic. At the age of 18, he made his debut with 25 Poems (1948), but his breakthrough came with the collection of poems, In a Green Night (1962). He studied theatre at Jose Quintero's acting school in New York City in 1958-59. He lived thereafter in Trinidad and the United States. Walcott won the prestigious MacArthur Foundation "genius" award in 1981. He joined the Boston University faculty as a professor of poetry and playwriting that year. He also taught at Harvard University. Walcott, best known for his poetry, is also an accomplished playwright. Of Walcott's approximately 30 plays, the best known are Dream on Monkey Mountain (produced 1967), Ti-Jean and His Brothers (1958), and Pantomime (1978). Many of his plays make use of themes from black folk culture in the Caribbean.
