Derek Walcott (Author)
Omeros is the grand epic poem told in multiple chapters from Nobel Prize-winning poet and playwright Derek Walcott.
With circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, Omeros 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. “One of the great poems of our time.” —John Lucas, New Statesman
