Here are examples of his very earliest work, like 'In My Eighteenth Year', published when the poet himself was still a teenager  his first widely celebrated verse, like 'A Far Cry from Africa', which speaks of violence, of loyalties divided in one's very blood  his mature work, like 'The Schooner Flight' from The Star-Apple Kingdom  and his late masterpieces, like the tender 'Sixty Years After', from the 2010 collection White Egrets.     Across sixty-five years, Walcott has grappled with the themes that have defined his work as they have defined his life: the unsolvable riddle of identity  the painful legacy of colonialism on his native Caribbean island of St Lucia  the mysteries of faith and love  the trauma of growing old, of losing friends, family, one's own memory.\r\n\r\n This collection, selected by Walcott's friend the poet Glyn Maxwell, will prove as enduring as the questions, the passions, that have driven Walcott to write for more than half a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
