Derek Walcott is a West-Indian poet, dramatist, and a writer who writes mainly in English. His famous poem Omeros is an adaptation of Homer and a creative imaginary journey to his homeland in the Caribbean away from the American Western civilization. Walcott uses poetry to highlight the linguistic precision of the Caribbean people. He describes the deep psychological problems of the colonial period of his native homeland under the western imperialism. This paper focuses on Walcott's racial and cultural clash of identity. Walcott explains that his island has been called ‘‘Helen of the West Indies’’ because of the challenge between England and France to control this territory. This study aims at studying Walcott’s epic poem and his use of symbolism to convey his points of view.
