The University of Essex is proud to present Visiting Professor of Poetry Derek Walcott.
In the first visit of his two-year appointment to the post, the Nobel prize-winning Caribbean poet will be in conversation with Professor Marina Warner and Dr Maria Cristina Fumagalli of the Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies. This afternoon, Derek Walcott will be looking back at more than sixty years of writing, painting, theatre directing and teaching, as well as reading from his latest volume of poetry, White Egrets.
"In these exquisitely poised and potent poems, language stands as the thinnest possible lens between the poet and the world he describes..."
