    Extractions: DEREK WALCOTT THE LAUREATE OF ST LUCIA Courtesy the London Guardian Sunday Express September 17, 2000 Pages 50, 51, 53, 54 Raised in poverty by his widowed mother, he went on to win the Nobel Prize and claim a place for Caribbean literature at the centre of world culture. But he has faced controversy over his defence of colonial artistic traditions. NICHOLAS WROE , of the London Guardian, on an outspoken poet whose professional and personal life has been marked by turbulence. The following is an excerpt. When Derek Walc ott was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1992 the citation said he was honoured "for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment." This vision and commitment were forged in the extraordinary cultural melting pot that is the Caribbean. There is English, Dutch, Creole and African all represented within two generations of his lineage. He was brought up in a British colony as an English-speaking Methodist, but St Lucia was mostly a Creole-speaking Catholic island. In social terms he was from an intellectual elite, while economically he was harshly poor.
