Gedichte von Derek Walcott Übersetzt von Johannes Beilharz Auf den Virgin Islands Für Bill und Pat Strachan Die Dünung der Orgel der anglikanischen Kirche St. Croix in Christianstead wird von der Stimme des Fallschirmjägers verdrängt: "Nach Vietnam zur Polizei. Dreißigmal abgesprungen." Glocken bestrafen die tote Straße, Tauben taumeln, ihre Schirme öffnend, vom Glockenturm und drehen sich in Kreisen, bis die Ringe des Läutens aufhören. "Salud!" Der Fallschirmjäger hebt sein Glas. Die Gemeinde erhebt sich wie eine Patrouille, mit schlurfenden Schuhen und Stiefeln, und wiederholt Befehle, während die Orgel donnert: "Preiset den Herrn. Der Name des Herrn sei gepriesen." Jenseits des stillen Hafens kann man die Brecher nicht an den geschrammten Horizont feuern hören, noch die Charterflugzeuge, die auf Buck Island zuschießen. Der einzige Krieg hier ist ein stiller

28. The Capeman - A Musical By Paul Simon And Derek Walcott Synopsis and brief history of the Broadway musical by Paul Simon and derek walcott, plus links to cast albums and sheet music. http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/albm85.html

The Capeman Music: Paul Simon Book: Derek Walcott The Capeman , originally conceived by Paul Simon as a musical in 1989 when he was working on the Rhythm of the Saints album, tells the story of Salvador Agron, one of New York City's most notorious killers. In August of 1959, sixteen-year-old Agron, a member of a street gang known as The Vampires, murdered two teenagers on a New York playground. He became known as the "Capeman" because he wore a long, vampire-like black cape with a red lining while committing the murders. The musical begins with Agron's childhood in Puerto Rico, then follows his family's subsequent move to New York City and explores the boy's unhappy home life, including frequent encounters with his stepfather. Although he is originally more interested in girls than gangs, Agron joins The Vampires after they come to his rescue when he is attacked by another gang. Later, when a friend is badly beaten, The Vampires go out looking for revenge, and although they never locate the rival gang that did the beating, Salvador ends up stabbing two innocent boys to death. Soon captured and sentenced to death, Salvador claims to be unrepentant. The Capeman opened on January 29, 1998, with a cast that featured Marc Anthony (young Agron) and Ruben Blades (older Agron) and a libretto written by Nobel laureate Derek Walcott. However, audiences had to make their way through picket lines because certain members of the community were upset that Simon had chosen Agron for the subject of his play. They felt that the musical was glorifying the life of a murderer, and they were determined to make their opinion felt. In addition, the play was attacked by the critics, especially the New York Times which seemed to launch a campaign against the play. Perhaps hitting the nail on the head, one critic from New York magazine wrote:

39. Carib Queen S Passions Derek Walcott A St. Lucian Poet derek walcott A wellknown St. Lucian poet, and Nobel Prize winner. derek walcott COLLECTED POEMS 1948-1984. Here s what some had to say about COLLECTED POEMS. http://www.geocities.com/thetropics/3606/Walcott.html

Derek Walcott: A well-known St. Lucian poet, and Nobel Prize winner. His literary style has been influenced by the works of the Russian poets and writers, Alexander Pushkin, Anna Akhmatova, and Leo Tolstoy. His poetry is classic with Shakespearean and Biblical beauty of language. Yet his style is his own, filled with local colour, and amazing metaphors. His love for the islands, literature and art shine through in his works. Walcott has demonstrated such an extensive range of literary expressiveness. His works go from the sacred to satirical as you will see from excerpts on my pages. He has been published worldwide and is on the Advisory board for the Caribbean Writer which features his poems and the works of others. DEREK WALCOTT COLLECTED POEMS 1948-1984 Here's what some had to say about COLLECTED POEMS "One of the most instructive experiences afforded by this collected edition is the spectacle of a poet moving with gradually deepening confidence to found his own poetic domain, independent of the tradition he inherited yet not altogether orphaned from it...The Walcott line is still sponsored by Shakespeare and the Bible, happy to surprise by a fine excess. It can be incantatory and self-entrancing, as in the early "Sea-Chantey" and the later "Season of Phantasmal Peace." It can be athletic and demotic as in "Tales of the Islands" or "The Spoiler's Return." It can compel us with the almost hydraulic drag of its words...This is a triumphant book." SEAMUS HEANEY
