The poems in this sequence of 54, move through time, from the classical age to the present, and space, from Trinidad, Boston to Tahiti, with a wealth of literary and cultural references. Their principal themes are the stasis, both stultifying and provocative, of midsummer in the tropics; the pull of the sea, family, and friendship on one whose circumstances lead to separation; the relationship of poetry to painting; and the place of a poet between two cultures. Walcott records, with his distinctive linguistic blend of soaring imagery and plainly stated facts, the experience of a mid-life period -- in reality and in memory or the imagination. His poems are compelling -- not a mere stringing together of images and ideas but language that delights in itself, rhythms that seem spontaneous and scenes that are vividly there.
