abstract:
The paper addresses Derek Walcott's Collected Poems, reading the persistence of images like harbors, islands, shipwrecks and sails as the poetic response that the author offers to the uncomfortable questions of cultural identity and language in the Caribbean archipelago, where the brutal experience of colonial enslavement has left a destiny of creolization behind.
