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

Extractions: After that hot gospeller has levelled all but the churched sky, I wrote the tale by tallow of a city's death by fire; Under a candle's eye, that smoked in tears, I Wanted to tell, in more than wax, of faiths that were snapped like wire. All day I walked abroad among the rubbled tales, Shocked at each wall that stood on the street like a liar; Loud was the bird-rocked sky, and all the clouds were bales Torn open by looting, and white, in spite of the fire. By the smoking sea, where Christ walked, I asked, why Should a man wax tears, when his wooden world fails? In town, leaves were paper, but the hills were a flock of faiths; To a boy who walked all day, each leaf was a green breath Rebuilding a love I thought was dead as nails, Blessing the death and the baptism by fire.

Epic Of The Dispossessed: Derek Walcott's Omeros, By Robert D. Hamner
Epic of the Dispossessed. derek walcott's Omeros. Robert D. Hamner. He is the authoror editor of six books, including derek walcott. 1997. 200 pp. 6 x 9. Biblio.
http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/fall1997/hamner.htm

Extractions: In Epic of the Dispossessed, Robert D. Hamner offers an insightful, well-researched analysis of Omeros, the masterful epic poem by 1992 Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott. Rich and various, Omeros is an innovative extension of the epic tradition. Despite Walcott's insistence that he violates the formulaþhe notes his autobiographical presence in the poem and the absence of classical heroic figures and epic battlesþthe poem incorporates fragments of all the definitive characteristics of the genre. Hamner establishes that through its self-reflexive textuality, Omeros complements the time-honored tradition of the epic by giving voice to the marginalized peoples of the New World. Hamner briefly explains his perception of the epic tradition and its viability in contemporary literature. He examines Walcott's writing career and traces his development of devices, themes, techniques, and a narrative style essential to epic poetry. Although Walcott could not have fully anticipated Omeros

Extractions: Walcott has been an assiduous traveller to other countries but has always, not least in his efforts to create an indigenous drama, felt himself deeply-rooted in Caribbean society with its cultural fusion of African, Asiatic and European elements. For many years, he has divided his time between Trinidad, where he has his home as a writer, and Boston University, where he teaches literature and creative writing.
