Walcott Derek Title : Egrette bianche
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Adelphi

'Egrette bianche', la quattordicesima raccolta di poesie di Derek Walcott, fonde elegia e rapsodia, sul ritmo di temi ricorrenti come l'eredità coloniale e lo spettro dell'impero, l'approssimarsi della morte e la scomparsa degli affetti, l'insofferenza per il turismo ('una schiavitù senza catene, senza sangue sparso') e un amore per il viaggio vissuto nella consapevolezza - per citare Orazio - che 'chi va per mare cambia cielo, non animo'. Iosif Brodskij ha paragonato la poesia di Walcott alle onde di marea, a frangenti che montano, si ritirano e tornano a lambire la costa, mentre la magnificenza del suo linguaggio e la profusione di immagini evocano la lussureggiante natura delle Indie Occidentali. E il lettore non potrà che restare abbacinato a osservare 'queste egrette / che incedono sul prato in truppe scomposte, bianche insegne / che arrancano derelitte; sono i rimpianti / scoloriti delle memorie di un vecchio, le loro strofe mai scritte. / Pagine che svolazzano come ali sul prato, segreti svelati'.

Walcott Derek Title : O Starry Starry Night
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

Two masterful artists—Gauguin and van Gogh—come alive in a vibrant exploration of friendship, art, and madness

Two painters—Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh—are living together in the sleepy town of Arles in 1888. Soon, Gauguin, frustrated by van Gogh’s refusal to acknowledge his increasingly troubled mind, will depart for Paris. In two years, van Gogh will be dead by his own hand. In the meantime, the friends discuss their craft; they frequent a local café that van Gogh will soon immortalize; they become acquainted with a young prostitute, Lotte, who becomes Gauguin’s lover; they argue; they paint.
In Derek Walcott’s new play, O Starry Starry Night, two world-renowned artists come to life as they wrestle both with grand themes—friendship, loyalty, fame—and with more mundane concerns, money primary among them. The scenes Walcott sketches summon several of van Gogh’s most famous paintings: Sunflowers, The Night Café, The Bedroom at Arles. His manipulation of language—van Gogh’s eloquent monologues giving way to more abstract speeches—evokes the painter’s descent into madness. Over the action hangs the threat of violence, of death, which lends the play a potent urgency; for at least one of the characters, time is quickly running out.
O Starry Starry Night is powerfully wrought, and demonstrates once again the sharpness of Walcott’s eye: as a painter, as a poet, as a writer, and, above all, as an observer of human follies, foibles, failings, and aspirations.

Walcott Derek, Maxwell Glyn (EDT) Title : The Poetry of Derek Walcott 1948-2013
Author: Walcott Derek, Maxwell Glyn (EDT)
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

A collection spanning the whole of Derek Walcott’s celebrated, inimitable, essential career

“He gives us more than himself or ‘a world’; he gives us a sense of infinity embodied in the language.” To Joseph Brodsky’s words of praise, one might add the more concrete honors that the renowned poet Derek Walcott has received: a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant; the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry; the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Now, The Poetry of Derek Walcott 19482013 draws from every stage of his storied career. Here is his very earliest work—“In My Eighteenth Year,” published when he was eighteen; his first widely celebrated verses—“A Far Cry from Africa,” which speaks of violence, of loyalties divided in one’s very blood; his mature work—“The Schooner Flight” from The Star-Apple Kingdom; and his late masterpieces—the tenderness of “Sixty Years After” from the 2010 collection White Egrets.
Across sixty-five years, Walcott grapples with the themes that have defined his work as they have defined his life: the unsolvable riddle of identity; the painful legacy of colonialism on his native Caribbean island of St. Lucia; the mysteries of faith and love and the natural world; the Western canon, celebrated and problematic; the trauma of growing old, of losing friends, family, one’s own memory. This collection, edited by the celebrated English poet Glyn Maxwell, will prove as enduring as the questions and passions that have driven Walcott to write for more than half a century.

Walcott Derek Title : La voce del crepuscolo
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Adelphi

'C'è un'esultanza fortissima, una celebrazione della fortuna, quando uno scrittore è testimone degli albori di una cultura che si definisce da sé, ramo dopo ramo, foglia dopo foglia...' scrive Walcott parlando dei Caraibi, e di uomini e donne che 'non leggono ma sono lì per essere letti, e se vengono letti nel modo giusto creano la propria letteratura'. Non stupisce allora che egli consideri scrittori fratelli Saint-John Perse, Aimé Césaire e Patrick Chamoiseau. Ma il suo sguardo valica i confini dei Caraibi, per abbracciare un orizzonte ben più ampio: da Philip Larkin, che 'ha inventato una musa, il cui nome era Mediocrità', a Ted Hughes, che con la sua poesia 'ringhia come una bestia braccata', a Robert Frost, dalla 'saggezza invernale', a Les Murray, che in virtù della sua 'forza irsuta' sembra uscito da 'una scena di Mad Max', a Iosif Brodskij, immerso nel 'caos' della trasformazione che ogni poeta attraversa quando traduce se stesso. E a dispetto dell'eterogeneità degli oggetti su cui Walcott si sofferma, questa raccolta si fissa nella nostra mente come un'unica, folgorante immagine: merito, certamente, di una scrittura così intensa da rischiare a ogni riga di frammentarsi in lirica.

Walcott Derek Title : Moon-Child
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

In Moon-Child, the poet and playwright Derek Walcott returns to the island of St. Lucia for a lush and vivid tale of spirituality and the supernatural. In this lyrical new work, the crafty Planter (who may or may not be the Devil in disguise) schemes to take over the island for development. Between him and his goal lies the Bouton family, whose ailing matriarch strikes a bargain: if any of her three sons can get the Devil to feel anger and human weakness, the islanders will win the right to spend the rest of their days in wealth and peace.

 

In a fable that reaches from St. Lucia's verdant forests to an explosive ending amid its plantation homes, Walcott has crafted a masterwork rich in flowing language and colorful Creole patois. With roots in Caribbean folklore and an eye toward the island's postcolonial legacy and complex racial identities, Moon-Child marks a remarkable new addition to the canon of one of the world's most prolific Caribbean playwrights.

Walcott Derek Title : White Egrets
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

A DAZZLING NEW COLLECTION FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POETS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

In White Egrets, Derek Walcott treats the characteristic subjects of his career—the Caribbean’s complex colonial legacy, his love of the Western literary tradition, the wisdom that comes through the passing of time, the always strange joys of new love, and the sometimes terrifying beauty of the natural world—with an intensity and drive that recall his greatest work. Through the mesmerizing repetition of theme and imagery, Walcott creates an almost surflike cadence, broadening the possibilities of rhyme and meter, poetic form and language.

White Egrets is a moving new collection from one of the most important poets of the twentieth century—a celebration of the life and language of the West Indies. It is also a triumphant paean to beauty, love, art, and—perhaps most surprisingly—getting older.

Walcott Derek; Campagnoli M. (cur.) Title : Isole. Poesie scelte (1948-2004). Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Walcott Derek; Campagnoli M. (cur.)
Publisher: Adelphi

Un paio di decenni fa Iosif Brodskij ebbe a scrivere di Walcott: 'Per quasi quarant'anni, senza sosta, i suoi versi pulsanti e inesorabili sono arrivati nella lingua inglese come onde di marea, coagulandosi in un arcipelago di poesie senza il quale la mappa della letteratura moderna assomiglierebbe, di fatto, a una carta da parati'. Un arcipelago al quale, da allora, non hanno mai smesso di aggiungersi nuove isole, ma le cui coordinate sono rimaste immutate: dalle promesse giovanili di In una notte verde - imparare 'a soffrire in giambici accurati', 'lodare finché amore duri, i vivi e i morti bruni' - alle riflessioni sull'arte e sulla vecchiaia del Prodigo. Una dedizione totale alla poesia e una preoccupazione per la condizione umana nate dalla volontà di rimanere fedele a un'epifania precoce - magistralmente narrata nel poema autobiografico Un'altra vita - che, alla maniera di Dante, ha segnato e continua a segnare il corso di un'intera esistenza. Ripercorrere l'avventura letteraria di Walcott significa assistere al dispiegarsi di un dono poetico capace, come forse nessun altro ai nostri giorni, di coniugare il lampo lirico dell'istante 'in cui ogni sfaccettatura' è 'còlta in un cristallo di ambiguità' con il gesto aperto e impersonale dell'epica. Il risultato, sulla pagina, è un'opera di straordinaria versatilità formale, magnificenza linguistica e precisione metaforica, costantemente illuminata da una compassione ampia, come nei grandi poeti di ogni tempo.

Walcott Derek, Baugh Edward (EDT) Title : Selected Poems
Author: Walcott Derek, Baugh Edward (EDT)
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

Drawing from every stage of the Nobel laureate's career, Derek Walcott's Selected Poems brings together famous pieces from his early volumes, including 'A Far Cry from Africa' and 'A City's Death by Fire,' with passages from the celebrated Omeros and selections from his latest major works, which extend his contributions to reenergizing the contemporary long poem. Here we find all of Walcott's essential themes, from grappling with the Caribbean's colonial legacy to his conflicted love of home and of Western literary tradition; from the wisdom-making pain of time and mortality to the strange wonder of love, the natural world, and what it means to be human. We see his lifelong labor at poetic crafts, his broadening of the possibilities of rhyme and meter, stanza forms, language, and metaphor. Edited and with an introduction by the Jamaican poet and critic Edward Baugh, this volume is a perfect representation of Walcott's breadth of work, spanning almost half a century.

Walcott Derek; Molesini A. (cur.) Title : Il levriero di Tiepolo. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Walcott Derek; Molesini A. (cur.)
Publisher: Adelphi

In versi che scivolano uno sull'altro come onde, il poema dispiega lento i suoi temi, come un romanzo. Parla della silenziosa preghiera dell'arte, della memoria che stinge come il colore dei dipinti. E dell'esilio, emblema di quel senso di estraneità che alcuni si portano dentro ovunque, in ogni istante. Come Walcott (Nobel per la letteratura 1992) e il suo conterraneo Pissarro, separati da cento anni di storia, ma appartenenti entrambi a minoranze etniche e religiose, metodista il primo, sefardita il secondo. Due esuli volontari, che hanno scelto i climi freddi di New York e di Parigi. Due artigiani dalle vocazioni parallele, devoti allo studio del paesaggio e della luce.

Walcott Derek; Molesini A. (cur.) Title : Omeros
Author: Walcott Derek; Molesini A. (cur.)
Publisher: Adelphi

Omeros, aedo del tempo presente, racconta la storia di due pescatori, Ettore e Achille, innamorati della stessa donna, Elena, sensuale cameriera di un hotel di Santa Lucia, piccola isola sovrastata da due coni vulcanici, al centro del Mar dei Caraibi. E ogni personaggio, anche quelli di contorno, è come incastonato in un'aura luminosa, che scaturisce sia dalla felice irruenza del magma metaforico di Walcott, sia dal carisma di nomi, gesti e pensieri che riecheggiano, non senza venature ironiche, quelli dei corrispettivi eroi omerici. Ma il poema racconta anche la storia di un tradimento: l'isola, a lungo contesa dagli imperi rivali di Francia e Gran Bretagna, è stata infine consegnata ai turisti.

Walcott Derek Title : Walker and the Ghost Dance
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

Dazzling dramas on American themes from the Nobel laureate

On a cold winter's day on the Dakota plains, Catherine Weldon receives a caller, Kicking Bear, bringing news of Indian rebellion. In the fort nearby, a tiny community splinters apart over how to react. In Ghost Dance, first performed in 1989, Walcott turns a story with a foregone conclusion -- Sitting Bull and his Sioux followers will die at the hands of the Army and Indian agents -- into a portrait of life at a crossroads of American history.

In Walker, an opera first performed in 1992 and revised for its revival in 2001, Walcott shifts his attention east, taking for his subject David Walker, the nineteenth-century black abolitionist. In Walcott 's hands Walker becomes a classical hero for his people: a leader who is also a poet.

Walcott Derek Title : What the Twilight Says
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

The first collection of essays by the Nobel laureate.

Derek Walcott has been publishing essays in The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, and elsewhere for more than twenty years. What the Twilight Says collects these pieces to form a volume of remarkable elegance, concision, and brilliance. It includes Walcott's moving and insightful examinations of the paradoxes of Caribbean culture, his Nobel lecture, and his reckoning of the work and significance of such poets as Robert Lowell, Joseph Brodsky, Robert Frost, Les Murray, and Ted Hughes, and of prose writers such as V. S. Naipaul and Patrick Chamoiseau. On every subject he takes up, Walcott the essayist brings to bear the lyric power and syncretic intelligence that have made him one of the major poetic voices of our time.

Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

The Bounty was the first book of poems Walcott published after winning the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature. Opening with the title poem, a memorable elegy to the poet's mother, the book features a haunting series of poems that evoke Walcott's native ground, the island of St. Lucia. 'For almost forty years his throbbing and relentless lines kept arriving in the English language like tidal waves,' Walcott's great contemporary Joseph Brodsky once observed. 'He gives us more than himself or 'a world'; he gives us a sense of infinity embodied in the language.'

Walcott Derek Title : The Odyssey
Author: Walcott Derek
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux

With its inspired counterpointing of Homeric and Caribbean themes, Derek Walcott's new play, commissioned by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, springs from the same imaginative sources as his epic poem Omeros.

Episodes of the story of Odysseus' protracted wanderings from fallen Troy to his island home of Ithaca are pungently interspersed with a commentary by the blind singer Billy Blue. Proteus, the Old Man of the Sea, the giant Cyclops, Circe and her revellers, ghosts, and mermaids are among the cast. With its vast sweep and richly figurative language, The Odyssey confirms that Derek Walcott is as compelling a playwright as he is a poet.

I testi teatrali di Derek Walcott, premio Nobel 1992, e in particolare quelli qui pubblicati, sono tappe di un viaggio a ritroso, attraverso le tenebre, verso i primordi. Ti-Jean e i suoi fratelli fu messo in scena per la prima volta al Little Carib Theatre di Port of Spain, Trinidad, nel 1958 ed è imminente la sua rappresentazione in Italia. Sogno sul Monte della Scimmia ebbe la prima esecuzione al Central Library Theatre di Toronto nel 1967. In entrambi l'azione si svolge in un'isola delle Indie Occidentali.
