Clarke's original Caribbean hybrid of history and myth is an act of art and decolonialization, of imagination and resistance to the mainstream, though not wholly penetrable to audiences beyond the island culture.

Walcott's epic poetic work is at once a refiguring of Homer and the colonial history of St. Lucia, of the indigenous everywhere, of the myths which mark poet and people. An extraordinary layering of all.

Walcott's epic poem of St. Lucia, but also of postcolonial culture, Homeric epics, the Revolutionary War, American Western expansion, language and art, aging, tourist economies, and a host of other layers is both poem and dream-state, compelling story and unnerving memory.

No real idea what I'm in for here, but it looks like colonialist dystopia in the Caribbean with a dark magic industrialist stealing the powerful spirit of the island peoples. But something quite a bit else, too . . .

An epic poetic work of seven small volumes combined as quest, immigration challenge, and literary escape, multiple themes interweaving in probably Walcott's greatest work.
