| Resumen en español | This paper will look at Derek Walcott´s ongoing relationship with Ireland. It will begin with a consideration of his production of Seamus Heaney´s Antigone in St. Lucia, in 2005. This will involve an appraisal of Walcott´s use of Caribbean speech rhythms in his translation of an Irish rewriting of Greek drama. The paper will proceed to an examination of Walcott´s references to other Irish dramatists and Irish writers in particular in the novel poem Omeros. Again this will lead to a consideration of the act of double traslation. The paper will end with a consideration of the dichotomy that Walcott has on occasion set up between the existential chasm that he perceives in Beckett´s art and his own Caribbean sense of the O of dawn. The conclusion will suggest a perennial search for authorial presences, affiliations and a desire to shape experience into something new |
