He wrote about "days I have held,/ days I have lost,/ days that outgrow, like daughters,/ my harbouring arms" in Midsummer, while his musical The Capeman, based on the gang member of the same name, was co-written with Paul Simon. In another one of his works, he wrote "I'm just a red nigger who love the sea, / I had a sound colonial education, / I have Dutch, nigger and English in me, / and either I'm nobody, or I'm a nation", a sentiment that exemplifies his literature, including The Schooner Flight, while he is perhaps most known for his epic poem which tells stories of Achille and Hector and their feud over Helen, and of the mad Dennis Plunkett, Helen's former employer, Omeros.
