from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $15.46
Customer Review:
In the "Prodigal", the noble poet luareate, Walcott proves again

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
I had to read it a few times to understand what was really going on. Because it is written in a Creole dialect it was some what hard to understand, but if you re-read where you are confused you can easily figure it out.
