Abstract

Focusing on Derek Walcott’s “The Season of Phantasmal Peace,” this paper argues that Walcott’s obsession with birds closely connects him to Edouard Glissant—and Saint-John Perse. Resurgent images (of birds) and ideas bind these major Caribbean poets, proving the very “Caribbeanness” that Glissant theorized as early as his first seminal essay, Le discours antillais (1981).
