Omeros
Walcott, Derek
Omeros - London; Faber and Faber; 1990 - 325 Pages; Paperback
A poem in five books, of circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, which simultaneously charts two currents of history: the visible history charted in events - the tribal losses of the American Indian, the tragedy of African enslavement - and the interior, unwritten epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile.
