«Omeros» is Derek Walcott's epic poem, published by Institució Alfons el Magnànim in hardback (450 pages, in Catalan and English).
Omeros draws on Homer's Odyssey to set its plot in the Caribbean: the fishermen of Saint Lucia, the memory of exile and the mark of colonisation intertwine in a reflection on the identity of the Antilles. The beauty of the Caribbean landscape runs through the text, which turns the classical myth into a contemporary and deeply lyrical story.
Hardback edition published in December 1993 by Institució Alfons el Magnànim, with the poem in English and a Catalan translation.
For readers of contemporary poetry and Caribbean literature, or for those seeking a modern reworking of the classical myth.
Sir Derek Alton Walcott was a Saint Lucian poet and playwright.
