    An epic that deserves to endure
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014*

Not a collection of poetry, but an epic novel in verse. It must take some confidence, on the part of an author, to write consciously in the tradition of Homer, Virgil, Dante and Milton, but that is exactly what Walcott does here, continuing a conversation that began more than 2000 years ago, and bringing the New World into this conversation. There are echoes of James Joyce’s “Ulysses” in the way in which Walcott incorporates the everyday lives of ordinary people into his narrative (much of the story centres around the St Lucian fishermen, Hector and Achille, rivals in love for a housemaid named Helen; and around a pig-farmer named Dennis Plunkett, a former soldier who regrets the passing of the British Empire), but Walcott and his characters also meditate on the history of their homelands, with reflections on the Transatlantic slave-trade, the 18th Century battle for the Caribbean between Britain & France; and the treatment of native peoples in North America. Most of the narrative is written in hexameter (with some passages in pentameter), but rhyme is used only sporadically, giving this poetic narrative a surprisingly modern feel. The characters and the landscape leap off the pages of this gloriously crafted work, which deserves to endure for as long as the works that inspired it.

    Omeros - rediscovered masterpiece!
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2013*

Absolutely delightful to read again and discover much autobiographical St Lucia content - now I can see this as the sequel volume of autobiography of which "Another Life" was the first (for "Another Life" I recommend Edward Baugh's Annotated edition, which for me became the key to Walcott). For example, Omeros Chapter 32 is a moving tribute to his mother . . "frail as a swift, gripping the verandah  . . it was another country . . . I knew but could not connect with my mind, like my mother's amnesia; untranslatable answers  . . ." Somehow I think that these epic poems should be read as two volumes of one work, one life, the life of Derek Walcott.

    Beautiful and flowing: Derek Walcott's 'Omeros'
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2017*

An amazing narrative with such depth and beauty. It is impossible to convey in this review how much I enjoyed reading Walcott's 'Omeros' and how much I look forward to future re-reads of the work. The faber edition is, as always, lovely. I was propelled to read more of Walcott following his death earlier this year and this certainly did not disappoint. Easily recommended for the classicist, poet or keen reader.
