Extractions: This was the shout on which each odyssey pivots, that silent cry for a reef, or familiar bird, not the outcry of battle, not the tangled plots of a fishnet, but when a wave rhymes with one's grave, a canoe with a coffin, once that parallel is crossed, and cancels the line of master and slave. Then an uplifted oar is stronger than marble Caesar's arresting palm, and a swift outrigger fleeter than his galleys in its skittering bliss. (uit Omeros, Boek 3, Hoofdstuk 30, Vers 2, Dit was de schreeuw waar iedere odyssee om draait, die stille roep om een rif of een vertrouwde vogel, niet de oorlogskreet, niet de verwarde intriges van een visnet, maar als een golf rijmt op iemands dood, een doodkist op een boot, die parallel wordt overschreden, de scheiding tussen meester en slaaf gesloopt. Dan is een opgestoken riem sterker dan marmeren Caesars geheven handpalm, en een snelle zeilboot gezwinder dan zijn galeien in haar heerlijke vaart. (vert. Jan Eijkelboom

Extractions: Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott has rightly garnered the admiration of astute criticism, among the best, Rei Terada's stellar Derek Walcott's Poetry: American Mimicry (1992); William Baer's edited Conversations with Derek Walcott (1996); and Robert Hamner's Derek Walcott Critical Perspectives on Derek Walcott (1993), and Epic of the Dispossessed (1997). Author Bruce King has for decades been writing on literary topics from Dryden and Marvell to post-colonial literature; most notably, he has explored West Indian drama in general and Walcott's theatre productions in particular. The latest in his line of authoritative single-authored and edited works is also the most comprehensive word on Walcott, the man and his work. Derek Walcott: A Caribbean Life was prepared for Walcott's seventieth birth year, "small repayment" (626), says King, for his enjoyment of Walcott's work. This "token" amounts to a full-blown Walcott encyclopedia, arranged chronologically and geographically into eight parts that each average a four to seven-year period of Walcott's life journey: from childhood in St. Lucia with a widowed mother during the Great Depression, to founding theatre companies in Trinidad, to becoming established in the literary scenes of New York and Boston, to international fame and fortune in the aftermath of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature.

There's a visual affinity between the imaginative life of the writer with a pen and the painter with a brush that transcends the differing techniques and outcomes. Walcott's new book, published with twenty-six reproductions of his paintings, features one on the cover, a scene near Walcott's Caribbean home that suggests another of Walcott's abiding passions: locale.

FUNK BROTHERS WEBQUEST Derek Walcott was born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Windward Islands, West Indies. He graduated from the University College of the West Indies and was awarded a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship to study American drama in 1957. Presently, he divides his time between Trinidad and Boston and teaches Drama and Poetry in the English Department at Boston University. Mr. Walcott founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop in 1959 as the Little Carib Theatre Workshop. It grew from a group of actors doing improvisations and scenes to an important repertory company presenting his plays as well as those of other Caribbean and international playwrights. He founded the Boston Playwrights' Theatre shortly after he accepted a professorship at Boston University which presents original works by local, national, and international playwrights. Mr. Walcott has organized an exchange program between his Boston Playwrights' Theatre and the Trinidad Theatre Workshop.

Extractions: from Derek Walcott's Omeros C ASTRIES, St. LuciaThe poet and playwright Derek Walcott put this Caribbean island on the literary map with his 1990 masterpiece Omeros , an epic poem that helped him capture the Nobel prize for literature in 1992. It also captured my imagination and that of my wife, Gail Levin, leading us to a different kind of Caribbean vacation in search of the sites so poignantly evoked in Walcott's poem. Had we chosen the prepackaged St. Lucia promoted by the tourist office and travel agents, we would have been consigned merely to white beaches, crystal blue-reeen waters, duty-free shopping, gourmet buffets and every imaginable spin on the rum cocktail. But we were drawn more strongly to the story told in Omeros in which a fatally attractive, ebony-skinned heroine name Helen captivates two fishermen, Achille and Hector, descendants of slaves. Their passions and the setting described by the writer made us want to visit the place that inspired him.

Extractions: OUSD Urban Dreams Language Arts Extended Literature ... Grade 12 Description: With its inspired counterpointing of Homeric and Caribbean themes, Derek Walcott's new play, commissioned by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, springs from the same imaginative sources as his epic poem Omeros. Episodes of the story of Odysseus' protracted wanderings from fallen Troy to his island home of Ithaca are pungently interspersed with a commentary by the blind singer Billy Blue. Proteus, the Old Man of the Sea, the giant Cyclops, Circe and her revellers, ghosts, and mermaids are among the cast. With its vast sweep and richly figurative language, The Odyssey confirms that Derek Walcott is as compelling a playwright as he is a poet.
