One poem by this author begins with a man showing tourists his wounds and explaining how trees are felled to build canoes, one of which is named In God We Troust.
One poem by this author begins with a man showing tourists his wounds and explaining how trees are felled to build canoes, one of which is named In God We Troust. Another poem by this author opens by describing the "sail that leans on light, / tired of islands" before claiming that the "ancient war / between obsession and responsibility / will never finish." That poem by this author ends, (*) "The classics can console. But not enough." In another poem, this author described Major Plunkett's desire to write a history of an island where Philoctete and Seven Seas frequent Ma Kilman's No Pain CafÃ©. That long poem by this author focuses on the love triangle between fishermen Achille and Hector and Helen, a local woman. For 10 points, name this St. Lucian author of "Sea Grapes" and Omeros.
