Derek Walcott is by far not the most famous playwright in the world. Amongst living playwrights, there are more well known people. In the Caribbean, where Walcott founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, Walcott is a prominent playwright; however, there are other skilled Caribbean people producing plays in and out of the area. Walcott is, however, one of the world's most famous living poets. Alongside his friend Seamus Heaney, Walcott is probably the most lauded poet alive today. His 1992 Nobel Prize in literature was awarded 'for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity'. As a poet, Walcott deals with complex rhyme schemes, rhythms and ideas; he uses these to create vivid, exciting works. If you want to know why he is so lauded, pick up any of his book length poems (The Prodigal, Tiepolo's Hound and Another Life are shining works) or his many collections.
