Omeros | Derek Walcott

4 posts | 8 read | 6 to read

A poem in five books, of circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, which simultaneously charts two currents of history: the visible history charted in events -- the tribal losses of the American Indian, the tragedy of African enslavement -- and the interior, unwritten epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile.

Today the world lost a brilliant poet. His version of the Odyssey, Omeros is beautiful. RIP Derek Walcott

brilliant but i think its best yo read it just for language and phrasing first - focussing on those and plot made it tricky (but beautiful) to follow #stlucia i totally see why he was awarded a Nobel!

I shouldn't drink and read book reviews at the same time...I think I ordered a massive biography of Frans Liszt and a Caribbean refashioning of Homeric poetry last night. Two things I didn't know I wanted to read. 🤔
