Walcott's rich and vital naming of the forms of island life is complemented by poems set in America and England, by inward-turning meditations, and by invocations of other poets--Osip Mandelstam, Walt Whitman, Frank O'Hara, James Wright, and Pablo Neruda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the publication of \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems \u003c\/i\u003ein 1963, Robert Graves wrote, \"Derek Walcott handles English with a closer understanding of its inner magic than most (if not any) of his English-born contemporaries.\" This collection of new poems in every way confirms Walcott's mastery. He is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gulf, Dream on Monkey Mountain and Other Plays, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAnother Life. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168540180720,"sku":"9781466880443","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466880443_p0.jpg?v=1763687426","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466880443","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
