A DAZZLING NEW COLLECTION FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POETS OF
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
In "White Egrets," Derek Walcott treats the characteristic subjects
of his career--the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, his love of
the Western literary tradition, the wisdom that comes through the
passing of time, the always strange joys of new love, and the
sometimes terrifying beauty of the natural world--with an intensity
and drive that recall his greatest work. Through the mesmerizing
repetition of theme and imagery, Walcott creates an almost surflike
cadence, broadening the possibilities of rhyme and meter, poetic
form and language.
"White Egrets "is a moving new collection from one of the most
important poets of the twentieth century--a celebration of the life
and language of the West Indies. It is also a triumphant paean to
beauty, love, art, and--perhaps most surprisingly--getting older.
