White Egrets: Poems | Derek Walcott

Pickpick

I don‘t read a lot of poetry, but I found this one pretty enjoyable. Some travel involved (Walcott was from Saint Lucia, and these poems feature the Caribbean, Italy, Spain, and the U.S, among others), nothing wild or crazy. They‘re deceptively short and simple, but it was nice to linger on some of them. #52Books23 #byaCaribbeanauthor

I‘m not a huge fan of poetry but enjoyed this book, I think because they weren‘t too ‘odd‘.
The author is from #saintlucia #readingtheamericas2023.

Many of the poems are set in the Caribbean, but we also visit France, Amsterdam, the US and Italy, as in the poem above that compares summer on Saint Lucia and in Italy.

I‘ve managed to do another #quadrupledip with this one ⬇️ although I‘m sure I won‘t be that lucky going forward!😁

batsy Amazing. It'll be wonderful to have a copy of that. A lifetime's work ❤️ 7y
Lesliereads @batsy Yes, so much of his life's work represented in this volume with the exception of Omeros. 7y
BellaBookNook I just discovered him after he passed and am eager to get my hands on one of his collections. 7y
Lesliereads @BellaBookNook Oh! I think you can start anywhere with Walcott's work. This collection was just sitting at Powell's bookstore waiting for me and a ten dollar bill😊. 7y
