Omeros is the grand epic poem told in multiple chapters from Nobel Prize-winning poet and playwright Derek Walcott.
With circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, Omeros 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. "One of the great poems of our time." --John Lucas, New StatesmanLanguage:EnglishPublisher:Farrar, Straus and GirouxISBN-13:9780374523503ISBN-10:374523509UPC:9780374523503Book Category:Literary Criticism, PoetryBook Subcategory:American, Caribbean & Latin American, EpicBook Topic:African American & BlackSize:8.53 x 5.53 x 0.99 inchesWeight:0.97Product ID:SCQ8XW9PVE
