Life
West Indian poet and playwright Derek Walcott made his debut as an 18-year-old with In a Green Night. For many years he divided his time among Saint Lucia; Boston University, where he taught; and Trinidad, where he managed a theater. Walcott also worked as an artist and combined his poetry with painting in the volume Tiepolo’s Hound (2005).

Work
Derek Walcott’s works often deal with Caribbean history, while he simultaneous searches for vestiges of the colonial era. Western literary canon is revised and given a completely new form, as in the poetry collection Omeros (1990). In his writing Walcott explores the complexity of living and working in two cultures.

生平
西印度诗人和剧作家德里克-沃尔科特18岁时以《在一个绿色的夜晚》首次亮相。多年来，他在圣卢西亚、波士顿大学（在那里任教）和特立尼达（在那里管理一家剧院）之间分配时间。沃尔科特也是一名艺术家，在《蒂埃波罗的猎犬》（2005年）一书中把他的诗歌和绘画结合起来。

作品
德里克-沃尔科特的作品经常涉及加勒比海历史，同时他也在寻找殖民时代的残余。西方文学典籍被修订，并被赋予全新的形式，如诗集《Omeros》（1990）。在他的写作中，沃尔科特探讨了在两种文化中生活和工作的复杂性。
