In scenes from St. Lucia, England, Massachusetts, and Lakota territory, Walcott offers history on a grand scale--replete with the horrors of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade--as well as the interior story of private suffering and individual exile. In musical and agile lines, as unpredictable and unceasing as the sea itself, Walcott forges an \u003ci\u003eOdyssey \u003c\/i\u003efor the Americas and an enduring story of Caribbean selfhood, a work that is alive to the present and enriched by the deep, seductive rhythms of the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of the great poems of our time.\" --John Lucas, \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457775579273,"sku":"9780374622350","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/imageloader_28a1d0fe-56ec-4b0f-9ca5-87d1d95afc94.jpg?v=1790620584","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/omeros","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
