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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One of the great poems of our time.\" -John Lucas, \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490141675893,"sku":"9780374622350","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780374622350.jpg?v=1786442028","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/omeros","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
