I and I - Epitaphs for the Self

The elegant close readings Rhonda Cobham-Sander offers here from V.S. Naipaul's A Way in the World, Kamau Brathwaite's Barabajan Poems and Derek Walcott's Omeros demonstrate how the project of writing one's critical epitaph becomes an overriding thematic concern as well as an important source of stylistic innovation in the work of all three writers.
