书籍简介

《德里克·沃尔科特诗集》从诗人传奇生涯的每个阶段中汲取营养。这里有他最早期的作品，如《在我十八岁的时候》，当时诗人自己还是个少年；他的第一首广受赞誉的诗篇，如《非洲的远方》，其中谈到了暴力，谈到了在一个人的血液中分裂的忠诚；他的成熟作品，如《星-苹果王国》中的《船的飞行》；以及他晚期的杰作，如2010年诗集《白鹭》中温柔的《60年之后》。

在六十五年间，沃尔科特一直在努力解决那些决定他作品的主题，因为这些主题决定了他的生活：无法解决的身份之谜；殖民主义在他的家乡加勒比海岛屿圣卢西亚的痛苦遗产；信仰和爱情的奥秘；年老、失去朋友、家人、自己的记忆的创伤。这部由沃尔科特的朋友、诗人格林-马克斯韦尔（Glyn Maxwell）挑选的作品集，将被证明与半个多世纪以来驱使沃尔科特写作的问题和激情一样，经久不衰。

The Poetry of Derek Walcott 1948-2013 draws from every stage of the poet's storied career. Here are examples of his very earliest work, like 'In My Eighteenth Year', published when the poet himself was still a teenager; his first widely celebrated verse, like 'A Far Cry from Africa', which speaks of violence, of loyalties divided in one's very blood; his mature work, like 'The Schooner Flight' from The Star-Apple Kingdom; and his late masterpieces, like the tender 'Sixty Years After', from the 2010 collection White Egrets.

Across sixty-five years, Walcott has grappled 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; the trauma of growing old, of losing friends, family, one's own memory. This collection, selected by Walcott's friend the poet Glyn Maxwell, will prove as enduring as the questions, the passions, that have driven Walcott to write for more than half a century.
