The title poem of this collection, set on an Irish island, tells of a pilgrim on an inner journey that leads him back into the world that formed him, and then forward to face the crises of the present.

On the publication of Derek Walcott's previous collection, The Fortunate Traveller, Blake Morrison wrote in the London Revie...
