meticulous scholarship that Nobel laureate Derek Walcott's poetry
deserves. Another Life, Walcott's masterpiece of autobiography in

of the best long autobiographical poems in English, with the
narrative sweep, the lavish layering of details, and the mythic
resonance of a certain classic'), is an ideal point of entry into
Walcott's work. The two-hundred pages of detailed notes and
commentary offered in this annotated edition - drawing to a great
extent on unpublished sources - provide an invaluable resource for
both teachers and students.Equally important, this book will
enhance the accessibility of Walcott's poetry and personal history
for all readers. This near-definitive study sets a new standard for
the kind of meticulous scholarship that Nobel laureate Derek
Walcott's poetry deserves, at the same time that it enhances the
accessibility of Walcott's history and poetry for the general
reader.
