Sea Grapes e-bog

Derek Walcott was aptly described by Laurence Liberman in The Yale Review as "e;one of the handful of brilliant historic mythologists of our day."e; Sea Grapes deepens with this major poet's search for true images of the post-Adamic "e;new world"e;--especially those of his native Caribbean culture. Walcott's rich and vital naming of the forms of island life is complemented by poems set in America and England, by inward-turning meditations, and by invocations of other poets--Osip Mandelstam, Walt Whitman, Frank O'Hara, James Wright, and Pablo Neruda.On the publication of Selected Poems in 1963, Robert Graves wrote, "e;Derek Walcott handles English with a closer understanding of its inner magic than most (if not any) of his English-born contemporaries."e; This collection of new poems in every way confirms Walcott's mastery. He is also the author of The Gulf, Dream on Monkey Mountain and Other Plays, and Another Life.
