Conversations with Derek Walcott
William Baer
The lively interviews in this collection reveal Derek Walcott's generous and brilliant intelligence as well as his strong, forthright opinions. He discusses the craft of poetry, the status of contemporary poetry and drama, his founding of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, and his views on a number of influential writers.
Publisher Marketing: My calling as a poet is votive, sacred, out-dated, if you will, but it was a cherished vow taken in my young dead father's name, and my life is to honor that vow. I believe this through all adversaries. I have been blessed. I am lucky to have been born in the Caribbean at such a time.
