"The Prodigal" by Derek Walcott takes readers on a journey through various landscapes, including Greenwich Village, the Alps, Pescara, Milan, Germany, and Cartagena. Amid these diverse settings, the poet's birthplace, St Lucia, and the living sea remain constant in the "music of memory, water." Derek Walcott, a Nobel laureate in literature, weaves together a collection that reflects on themes of home, identity, and the enduring connection to one's roots. The poems in "The Prodigal" showcase Walcott's lyrical and evocative style, inviting readers to explore the intersections of personal and geographical landscapes.
