First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning authorâ s masterpiece. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Dagmar thanks for a wonderbar evening in der kneipe Derek." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket painting by Derek Walcott. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. Author photograph by Sigrid Nama. Uncommon signed and inscribed. Omeros is an epic poem based on Homer and Odysseus. The title, which is Homer's name in Greek, nods to the wandering and exile of the great poet himself, who learned and suffered while traveling. "No poet rivals Mr. Walcott in humor, emotional depth, lavish inventiveness in language, or the ability to express the thoughts of his characters and compel the reader to follow the swift mutations of ideas and images in their minds. This wonderful story moves in a spiral, replicating human thought, and in the end, surprisingly, it makes us realize that history, all of it, belongs to us" (Mary Lefkowitz, The New York Times Book Review).
