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

Derek Walcott I who am poisoned with the blood of both Where shall I turn, divided to the vein? I who have cursed The drunken officer of British rule, how choose Between this Africa and the British tongue I love? from "A Far Cry from Africa" Introduction 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)." Early Dramatic Writings Mature Writings 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.
