Extractions: Derek Walcott was born in 1930 in the town of Castries in Saint Lucia, one of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. The experience of growing up on the isolated volcanic island, an ex-British colony, 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, a Bohemian watercolourist, 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 , but his breakthrough came with the collection of poems, In a Green Night (1962). In 1959, he founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop which produced many of his early plays. 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

Low blue mountains on the horizon, bright grass, clouds that would gather color before the light went. Felicity! What a gentle Anglo-Saxon name for an epical memory. Any title (in any language) by Derek Walcott Under an open shed on the edge of the field, there were two huge armatures of bamboo that looked like immense cages. They were parts of the body of a god, his calves or thighs, which, fitted and reared, would make a gigantic effigy. This effigy would be burnt as a conclusion to the epic. The cane structures flashed a predictable parallel: Shelley's sonnet on the fallen statue of Ozymandias and his empire, that "colossal wreck" in its empty desert.

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Derek (Alton) Walcott (1930-) The most important West Indian poet and dramatist writing in English today. Walcott has lived most of his life in Trinidad. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1992. In his works Walcott had studied the conflict between the heritage of European and West Indian culture, the long way from slavery to independence, and his own role as a nomad between cultures. His poems are characterized by allusions to the English poetic tradition and a symbolic imagination that is at once personal and Caribbean. " Poetry, which is perfection's sweat but which must seem as fresh as the raindrops on a statue's brow, combines the natural and the marmoreal; it conjugates both tenses simultaneously: the past and the present, if the past is the sculpture and the present the beads of dew or rain on the forehead of the past. There is the buried language and there is the individual vocabulary, and the process of poetry is one of excavation and of self-discovery. " (from the

Extractions: Early Life and Poetry Walcott was born in 1930 on the island of St. Lucia, the posthumous child of a civil servant and a schoolteacher, and the descendent of two white grandfathers and two black grandmothers. Though his first language was a French-English patois, he received an English education, an apprenticeship in language that his mother supported by reciting English poetry at home and by exposing her children to the European classics at an early age. In "What the Twilight Says," an autobiographical essay published in 1970, Walcott writes of the two worlds that informed his childhood: "Colonials, we began with this malarial enervation: that nothing could ever be built among these rotting shacks, barefooted backyards and moulting shingles; that being poor, we already had the theater of our lives. In that simple schizophrenic boyhood one could lead two lives: the interior life of poetry, and the outward life of action and dialect (4)." Life and Work in the United States Nobel Prize and Omeros Since winning the Nobel Prize, Walcott has continued to write prolifically, producing a new epic poem, The Bounty, in 1992 and, more recently, a collection of poems entitled Tiepoloís Hounds, which examines the life and art of impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. In these works, he continues to explore the complex legacy of colonialism with a poetic vision that recognizes the range of traditions comprising his beloved West Indies, and with a poetic voice that harmonizes the discord between the English canon and his native dialect.

Extractions: WALLA WALLA, Wash. Poet and playwright Derek Walcott, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1992, will read selections from his works when he visits the Whitman College campus Wednesday, Dec. 4. Walcott, part of the Whitman College Visiting Writers Reading Series, will present the annual Walt Whitman Lecture at 7 p.m. in Cordiner Hall, corner of Park and Boyer, on the Whitman campus. His presentation is free and open to the public. Sponsors include the colleges Office of the President, the English Department and the Mabel Groseclose Fund. Walcott was born at Castries, St. Lucia, a Caribbean island in the West Indies, of both African and European ancestry, in 1930. His mixed heritage is a theme that runs through much of his work. Considered by many to be the most important West Indian poet and dramatist writing in English today, Walcott has lived much of his life in Trinidad, but also has worked as a professor of poetry at the University of Boston. Walcott was educated at St. Marys College, Castries, won a scholarship to the University College of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, and later studied theater in New York. His first play, Henri Christopher, was performed in 1950, the same year he founded the St. Lucia Arts Guild.
