Derek Walcott is an outstanding lyric
poet of the West Indies writing in English. He is one of the three greatest
poets writing in the English language in the world today, the other two being Seamus
Heaney and Jorie Graham. His father was a Bohemian; that is a person, who lives
and behaves in an informal way that is considered typical of artists and
writers. His mother was a teacher, who had been a real inspiration to Derek to
compose poetry, not only that but she really encouraged him to read poetry of
good poets of the world and he did it just like a prayer.
