The Prodigal

The Prodigal is a dazzling odyssey for the twenty-first century. Beginning on America´s East Coast, the journeys restlessly through the European continent, exploring the inheritance of the Old World upon Walcott´s native St. Lucia, and sees the poet wondering about his own sense of abandonment, whether to leave a place is to lost it. The Prodigal is a compelling steer between exile and belonging, Europe and the New World,, wanderlust and the inevitable pull of home.
