Tourist, Traveller, Troublemaker:: Essays on Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781845230531)

Major essays on the work of Derek Walcott, Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna Goodison, Kwame Dawes, and other prominent Caribbean, African, British, and American poets are featured in this collection that has as its subtext a mistrust of postcolonial theory and its whole academic industry/enterprise. Stewart Brown includes autobiographical, literary essays that establish the ground from which the other essays are written, asserting that poetry is more important than its criticism. Thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated, these essays were written mainly for literary rather than academic journals, and are wide-ranging, provocative, and intellectually rigorous.
