520 8  " ... highlights the importance of the trope of voyaging 
       in Derek Walcott's poetics, primarily as it pertains to 
       the poet's engagement with classical verse. Focusing 
       specifically on the engagement with Homeric myth, and 'The
       Odyssey' in particular, it articulates the manner in which
       Walcott's postcolonial reconfigurations of epic verse both
       highlights the endurance of the classics as well as 
       demonstrating how cultural practices can remake and 
       transform ancient texts. Concomitant with the poet's 
       presentation of self as divided, this study traces 
       opposing forces in operation within this trope: a 
       centrifugal force that corresponds to the outward journey 
       away from his island home in search of greater publishing 
       opportunities and broader readerships, and a centripetal 
       force corresponding to the return journey, or homecoming. 
       The enabling potential of Greek myth is marked by a 
       similar to-ing and fro-ing in Walcott's verse as he 
       repeatedly engages with, and simultaneously disavows, 
       Homeric configurations. Insisting on the reciprocal nature
       of poetic appropriation, the act of rewriting also 
       signalling new ways of rereading, Walcott's appropriations
       effectively enter into a critical dialogue with Homeric 
       verse. Further depth to Walcott's rewriting of Homer is 
       provided by an analysis of the mediating influence of Euro
       -American modernism. Through an examination of the 
       postcolonial aftermath of modernism, it challenges the 
       perceived exclusivity of each, illustrating this premise 
       through case studies of Walcott's relation to both Romare 
       Bearden and James Joyce. This study is therefore 
       interdisciplinary and inter-artistic in nature, 
       transgressing the borderline between poetry and prose, and
       that of literary and artistic disciplines. Highlighting 
       the permeability of such boundaries, it investigates the 
       journey of Odysseus, as prototypical wanderer, through 
       time and space, from oral to print culture, from word to 
       image"--Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.
