DESCRIPTION

This near-definitive study sets a new standard for the kind of meticulous scholarship that Nobel laureate Derek Walcott's poetry deserves.

Another Life, Walcott's masterpiece of autobiography in verse is an ideal point of entry into Walcott's work. The 200 pages of detailed notes and commentary offered in this annotated edition—drawing to a great extent on unpublished sources—provide an invaluable resource for both teachers and students. Equally important, the book will enhance the accessibility of Walcott's history and poetry for all readers.
