«The Prodigal» is Derek Walcott's poem, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (112 pages, in English).
The text follows a traveller through real and evoked settings, from the east coast of the United States and Greenwich Village to the Alps, Pescara, Milan, Germany and Cartagena. In that geography, the Old World's inheritance resonates over Saint Lucia, the author's native island, and its sea; exile, belonging and the call of home mark the poem.
Derek Walcott was born in Saint Lucia in 1930 and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992; the Faber & Faber edition was released on 2 February 2006.
A title for poetry readers interested in exile, memory and the landscapes of travel.
