Winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, an Obie Award, and scores of other honors, the brilliant poet, essayist, and playwright Derek Walcott here reads excerpts from several of his works, including Omeros, Odyssey, and Collected Poems 1948-1984."Seeking to endow every word with personal and mythological significance, Walcott is one of those rare poets whose voice is so distinctive that the printed poems assume a richer texture after hearing him read them."
