Description

A vibrant meditation at the difficult great thing about the Caribbean, taking the type of a dialogue between a Nobel Prize–winning poet and a renowned figurative painter

Morning, Paramin offers us a stunning collaboration between a Nobel Prize–winning poet, Derek Walcott, and a renowned figurative painter, Peter Doig. It journeys throughout the physical and psychological landscapes of 2 lives, from the snowy landscapes of Edmonton to the sun-washed shores of the Caribbean, from the method of mourning a family member to the revel in of watching a film. Taking the type of a call-and-response, with paintings on one side and poetry at the other, Morning, Paramin lets Walcott’s characteristic perception and wit shine through in his illuminating responses to Doig’s luminescent paintings. Both poems and paintings are triumphant celebrations of life’s pleasures and pains―loving, observing, aging.

Walcott, born and living in St. Lucia, and Doig, living in Trinidad, have interaction in a powerful dialogue at the Caribbean’s colonial legacy, the politics of home and belonging, and the bounds of art. A poignant exploration of a friendship and a vibrant meditation at the difficult great thing about the Caribbean, Morning, Paramin probes the bounds of communication and celebrates the thrills of a shared language.
