Synopsis
Don Barnard's reader’s guide plumbs the richness, subtlety, and power of Derek Walcott’s Omeros.
Barnard adeptly lays out the major themes of the work, explains Walcott's geographical, historical, and autobiographical references, and explores his use of symbolism. He also highlights the qualities that make Omeros a master class in the use of form, rhythm, and rhyme and proposes new solutions to issues raised by earlier critical works. Walcott's own comments on both the poem and the writer’s task enhance this invaluable contribution.
