A clearer reference to 'The Schooner 'Flight (1979) as a well-known work?

[edit] PLAYS

In the first section, reference is made to an essay Walcott supposedly wrote in 1940. According to the birthdate above, this would make Walcott 10 years old when the essay was published. Something is wrong here, but I don't know what. WikiFanCMC 14:04, 18 April 2008 (CET)

I am interested in Walcott's plays. Can anyone help me find out which ones are the best out of the 40 odd he's written? ThePeg 16:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I would certainly read his Haitian Trilogy, Ti-Jean, and Pantomime.

There is no discussion of the fact that he has been accused of sexual harrasment twice while being on the faculty of BU. This is well documented. BU also settled a sexual harrasment lawsuit for an undisclosed sum. Why is this not in his biography?

walcott is a inspiring man who has inspierd alot of people including me a 14 years old girl —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.50.69.3 (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not much biography, is there?

The only biographical information about the man, apart from his works, is his name and the date and place of his birth.

I was trying to find out why the article on Trinidad and Tobago claims him as a Trinidadian. There is nothing in this article to shed light on this. Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 18:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
