Tributes to Derek Walcott- Co-authored with Helen Goethals

Tributes to Derek Walcott, 1930-2017 – In Various Light (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2022). Co-authored with Helen Goethals.

Coming some five years after the death of poet, playwright, teacher and painter Derek Walcott, this book brings together essays, memoirs, and creative work addressing many aspects of his life and work. 20 years after Walcott became the first Caribbean writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, this volume gathers renowned and emerging poets, friends, theatre critics and artists to lay bare their own relationship with a larger-than-life figure and cast their ‘various light’ on his by-no-means unproblematic legacy.
