Plays by the Nobel-laureate, brought together for the first time

In the history plays that comprise The Haitian Trilogy--Henri Christophe, Drums and Colours and The Haytian Earth--Derek Walcott, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, uses verse to tell the story of his native West Indies as a four-hundred-year cycle of war, conquest and rebellion.

In Henri Christophe and The Haytian Earth, Walcott re-casts the legacy of Haiti's violent revolutionaries--led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe--whose rebellion established the first black state in the Americas, but whose cruelty becomes a parable of racial pride and corruption. Drums and Colours, commissioned in 1958 to celebrate the first parliament in Trinidad, is a grand pageant linking the lives of complex, ambiguous heroes: Columbus and Raleigh; Toussaint; and George William Gordon, a martyr of the constitutional era.

From Henri Christophe's high style to the bracing vernacular of The Haytian Earth, to the epic scale and scope of Drums and Colours, in these plays Walcott, one of our most celebrated poets, carved a place in the modern theater for the history of the West Indies, and a sounding room for his own maturing voice.

Cute, functional bag that’s very stylish
Color: A-pinkish Grey, Size: 14 Inch
This little bag is so cute and fictional. It’s the perfect size and the color is gorgeous. Matches my style really well. It also is a smaller size that fits many things which is really hard to find. It’s always usually a bigger bag so I absolutely love this one and highly recommend it.

Feels great to wear!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Khaki
Love the feel of the fabric. Gives you room to breath and isn't tight feeling. I got the XXL and it fits perfect. I like the fact that this shirt can be either formal or everyday wear. It just all depends on what pants or shorts you want to wear with it!

Soft, Flattering, and Perfect for Everyday Wear
Size: Large, Color: Army Green, Size: Large, Color: Army Green
I purchased this t-shirt in a size large in the army green color, and it has quickly become one of my favorite wardrobe staples. The material is soft and comfortable, and the v-neck shape is very flattering. The army green color is vibrant and does not have that faded look that many shades of army green often do. The fabric is also thick enough that it is not see through or sheer. While the Amazon description mentions this as beach or vacation wear, I find it better suited for casual, everyday outfits. It pairs perfectly with comfy jeans for a relaxed look. The length is just below the pocket line on my waist jeans, which makes it flattering to wear untucked, though it could easily be dressed up with a belt for a polished casual Friday work outfit. The shirt has a bit of stretch, which enhances the fit, and the caps on the short sleeves add a nice touch. It washed well with no fading or shrinking, and at around $10 for the army green color, it is an incredible value. I love this t-shirt so much that I plan to purchase it in another color soon!
