Caribbean Voice in Derek Walcott’s Writings

P. Helmsly Solomon, M.A., M.Phil. and
Dr. P. Premalatha


Derek Alton Walcott

Derek Alton Walcott is one among the leading poets writing in English in the twentieth century. He is from Castries, Saint Lucia, an isolated volcanic island in Caribbean. The Caribbean territories were colonised by the British, the French and the Dutch forces several times mostly in the seventeenth century. Most of Walcott's poems are a representation of not only Caribbean experience, but also act as a mouthpiece for all geographical landscapes that have been subject to colonisation at any time in history. Walcott through his poems describes how it is essential not to part with any one of the varying identities, because that would kill the reality of the Caribbean experience-- forcing the segment of the Caribbean community to be imprisoned within their mental recesses. The present paper attempts to explore the ultimate concern of Walcott for his native land and to evaluate his delineation of Caribbean experiences in his writings.
