  Passage: Sir Derek Alton Walcott, KCSL, OBE, OCC (23 January 1930 – 17 March 2017) was a Saint Lucian poet and playwright.  He received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature.  He was Professor of Poetry at the University of Essex from 2010 to 2013.  His works include the Homeric epic poem "Omeros" (1990), which many critics view "as Walcott's major achievement."  In addition to winning the Nobel Prize, Walcott received many literary awards over the course of his career, including an Obie Award in 1971 for his play "Dream on Monkey Mountain", a MacArthur Foundation "genius" award, a Royal Society of Literature Award, the Queen's Medal for Poetry, the inaugural OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, the 2011 T.

  Title: Hart Crane
  Passage: Harold Hart Crane (July 21, 1899 – April 27, 1932) was an American poet.  Finding both inspiration and provocation in the poetry of T. S. Eliot, Crane wrote modernist poetry that was difficult, highly stylized, and ambitious in its scope.  In his most ambitious work, "The Bridge", Crane sought to write an epic poem, in the vein of "The Waste Land", that expressed a more optimistic view of modern, urban culture than the one that he found in Eliot's work.  In the years following his suicide at the age of 32, Crane has been hailed by playwrights, poets, and literary critics alike (including Robert Lowell, Derek Walcott, Tennessee Williams, and Harold Bloom), as being one of the most influential poets of his generation.
  Title: Roderick Walcott
  Passage: Roderick Aldon Walcott, OBE (23 January 19306 March 2000), was a St Lucian playwright, screenwriter, painter, theatre director, costume and set designer, lyricist and literary editor.  As a dramatist he "has been recognised as one of the most committed figures in the effort to develop a distinctive Caribbean theatre in the region".  He was the twin brother of Nobel laureate Derek Walcott.
  Title: Omeros
  Passage: Omeros is an epic poem by Caribbean writer Derek Walcott, first published in 1990.  The work is divided into seven "books" containing a total of sixty-four chapters.  Many critics view "Omeros" as Walcott's "major achievement."  Soon after its publication in 1990, it received praise from publications like "The Washington Post" and "The New York Times Book Review", the latter of which chose the book as one of its "Best Books of 1990" and called it "one of Mr. Walcott's finest poetic works."  The book also won the WH Smith Literary Award in 1991.  In 1992, Walcott was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the Nobel committee member who presented the award, Professor Kjell Espmark, singled out Walcott's most recent achievement at the time, "Omeros", recognizing the book as a "major work".  Walcott painted the cover for the book, which depicts some of his main characters at sea together in a boat.  In 2004, the critic Hilton Als of "The New Yorker" called the book "Walcott's masterpiece" and characterized the poem as "the perfect marriage of Walcott’s classicism and his nativism".
