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.
