I want the year 2009 to be as angled with lightĪs a Dutch interior or an alley by Vermeer, “In Amsterdam,” a poem I earlier had the pleasure of listening to Walcott read on YouTube, heightened by images of the city, now assumed new meaning – Reading White Egrets posthumously these last couple of months, one is struck by the foreboding in some of the poems, a clear sense that the author was coming to terms with imminent mortality. Only in the last year have I allowed myself to touch the ones that came after- Tiepolo’s Hound, the Prodigal, and now, finally, White Egrets.

Studying him chronologically has been a labour of love, from the collections he published in his thirties ( In a Green Night, The Castaway, The Gulf) and forties ( Another Life, Sea Grapes, The Star Apple Kingdom) to his fifties ( The Fortunate Traveller, Midsummer, The Arkansas testament), culminating in Omeros, the “epic of the dispossessed,” easily one of the top ten volumes of poetry existing in human civilization.

Kole Omotoso has argued, quite persuasively in a posthumous tribute, that Walcott was an even greater playwright than poet, but Walcott for me, as for many, was the Poet. Thereafter came the drama ( Dream on Monkey Mountain, staged one of those undergraduate nights at the University of Ibadan Arts Theatre) and the essays. There was a poem titled “Miramar,” which was different from anything I had read up until that time. There was a reference to his majestic verse and devilish ways: “I’m beginning to feel like the beast of Boston,” he was quoted as saying. I first read about Walcott in 1992, on the pages of Weekend Concord, in an article probably written by Mike Awoyinfa, shortly after Walcott won the Nobel. The first instinct, after the shock of Akin Adesokan’s retweet of Jeanne-Marie Jackson’s tweet, was to find the YouTube video of the Walcott interview with Christian Campbell, in which he read “The Light of the World,” starting with the epigraph from Bob Marley-“Kaya now, got to have kaya now, /got to have kaya now, / for the rain is falling.” His voice had that unmistakable lilt he owned Marley, owned the lyric and the song, owned every stretch of the Caribbean. Also, this excludes social media posts.A few deaths have rocked my world lately – notably Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Umberto Eco – but none felt so personal as Walcott’s. Yes, But!
