Omeros is the grand epic poem told in multiple chapters from Nobel Prize-winning poet and playwright Derek Walcott. With circular narrative design, titled with the Greek name for Homer, Omeros simultaneously charts two currents of history: the visible history charted in events--the tribal losses of the American Indian, the tragedy of African enslavement--and the interior, unwritten epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile. "One of the great poems of our time." -John Lucas, New Statesman
