Get your groove on! This fall, channel the swingin' sixties with shift dresses, jeweled necklines, and bold prints.
Flirty A-line frocks give a nod to groovy without looking too -esque. Veer away from white go-go boots unless you're headed to a costume party, instead opting for knee-high socks and simple flats or tall black boots, if you're feeling especially retro. Embrace happy-go-lucky prints like houndstooth checks, box plaids, and florals. Instead of circa-'60s psychedelic colors, keep your palette to chic neutrals like black, white, and tan, adding pops of primary color with yellow, blue, and red. Accessories should be kept to a minimum—a wide hip-slung belt and chic clutch complete the streamlined mod style. Bonus points if you're already sporting a boyish pixie cut. (British bombshell Emma Watson would approve.)

6PM, FSD, @ the Palace.
http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.s...s_vs_ch_3.htmlDetroit Pistons vs. Chicago Bulls
When: 6 p.m.
Where: The Palace of Auburn Hills
Records: Pistons 22-37 (fourth in Central); Bulls 45-14 (first in Central).
Last game: The Pistons ran into early trouble against the athletic Milwaukee Bucks and played disappointingly in their return home from a four-game home stand during Friday's 113-97 loss. The Bulls got a 3-pointer from C.J. Watson late in regulation Thursday to force overtime in a marquee home game against the Miami Heat, which they went on to win, 96-86.
Pistons probable starters: Tayshaun Prince, 6-9, 215 (Kentucky); Jason Maxiell, 6-7, 260 (Cincinnati); Greg Monroe, 6-11, 250 (Georgetown); Rodney Stuckey, 6-5, 205 (Eastern Washington); Brandon Knight, 6-3, 189 (Kentucky).
Bulls probable starters: Luol Deng, 6-9, 220 (Duke); Carlos Boozer, 6-9, 266 (Duke); Joakim Noah, 6-11, 232 (Florida); Richard Hamilton, 6-7, 193 (Connecticut); Derrick Rose, 6-3 190 (Memphis).
Fast facts: The Bulls are 2 ½ games ahead of the San Antonio Spurs, and three ahead of the Miami Heat, in the race for the NBA's best regular-season record. The Bulls have the league's best road record at 21-8. Rose, who was benched late against Miami after going minus-27 for the game and seen cheering his teammates harder than anyone as the Bulls won by double-digits anyway has missed 23 games with injuries this season. Rose averages 22.4 points per game but his activity level doesn't qualify him among the league leaders. Three of the 18 most accurate 3-point shooters in the NBA are Chicago's Kyle Korver (seventh, 44.3 percent), Detroit's Ben Gordon (17th, 41.3) and Chicago's Watson (18th, 40.9). Overlooked, among the Bulls' many strengths, is that Omer Asik and Taj Gibson offer top-shelf post defense off the bench.
Frank-ly speaking: Outstanding defensively, great rebounding team, extremely unselfish offensively, guys pull for each other, and you can tell they're all invested because their big picture is to try to win a championship. There's a lot to be impressed with. Now, with that being said, if everyone on our part does our job, we'll put ourselves in position to win the game.
TV: Fox Sports Detroit
Derrick Rose is becoming a complete whiner
Anyone who saw that foul knows it shouldn't have been a flagrant
Also, how are these guys with tattoos all over their freaking bodies afraid of needles?AUBURN HILLS, MICH. -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is fed up with the way some players in the league are trying to defend him.
Rose, who scored 24 points in the Bulls' 100-94 overtime win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night, was frustrated that he had a bloody dent on the bridge of his nose thanks to Pistons' forward Charlie Villanueva.
With 4:31 left to play in regulation, Rose drove to the rim and was hammered by Villanueva. The veteran swingman was called for a flagrant foul on Rose, held up after a video review by officials, and then was given a technical foul for arguing.
After the game, Rose was still upset with the way the play went down. He argued with Villanueva for a moment before going to the sidelines for treatment from Bulls athletic trainer Fred Tedeschi.
Rose, who has a well-documented fear of needles and said he would not be getting stitches, wore a band-aid over his nose for the rest of the game.
"I was mad," Rose said. "I'm sick and tired of people trying to take cheap shots at me. You got to say something."
Rose was fined $25,000 last month for making comments toward officials after a March 12 game against the New York Knicks.
"I've gotta be the only superstar in the league that's going through what I'm going through right now," Rose said at the time, referring to a lack of foul calls in his favor. "But I can't say too much about it."
This time, he took matters into his own hands. He felt it was time to stand up for himself against Villanueva.
"You got to," Rose said. "He didn't even aim for the ball. At least go for the ball. I felt like he didn't and that's the reason why I got mad a little bit."
Rose isn't sure why he feels like some players go after him.
"I really don't know," he said. "Probably because I don't say anything or whatever, but I'm a man, where in situations like that you have to say something."
For his part, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau was satisfied with the explanation he got regarding the hard foul.
"Look, these guys are great officials," Thibodeau said. "So (the official) said 'it appeared to be worse than it actually was.' That's what he said to me. Usually when they say that, they know they've gotten a pretty good look at it, so I dropped (the complaining) right there."
Rose, who has missed 23 games this year because of various injuries, is averaging 22 points a game this season.
Eh, CV wasn't making any play on the ball.
But the "I'm the only superstar that goes through this" foolishness is hilarious.
What the hell? Watch the recap in the video right here: http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=320415008
He nearly gets all ball. It's a good, hard but clean foul.
I read that the Pistons sent a message to the bulls. "We're coming".
Goodwill is such a shill.
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...e-We-re-comingReigning MVP Derrick Rose uncharacteristically got involved in trash talk after blood streamed down his face, courtesy of a flagrant foul that was mild compared to some we've seen in this storied rivalry.
Later, Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey caught an inadvertent elbow to the chops that left him on the Palace floor.
Tempers flared, harsh words were exchanged and afterward, Rose believed he was the target of some dirty play after his team escaped from Motown with a 100-94 overtime win.
It wasn't dirty; It was beautiful. For the first time this season, the Pistons playing the Bulls wasn't about Richard Hamilton playing his former mates; the game was the main attraction.
We're a long way from Rick Mahorn shedding Bulls coach Doug Collins aside like a rag doll after a hard foul on Michael Jordan in 1988, the true genesis of this 20-plus year rivalry, but the seeds are usually planted well before teams begin vying against one another for a title.
How glorious would it be to see intensity like this over seven games in May?
For the better part of 53 minutes, the Pistons became a mirror image of the Bulls, and although no one would confuse one team with the other, the Pistons showed some fight that was missing earlier in the season — and the Bulls showed them exactly how hard they have to play to get to the next level.
"It's the standard of competing. Chicago competes like this every night. That's the difference of teams in this league," said Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, who was exasperated as if it was a playoff loss, not like a game that could help them in next month's draft lottery.
"That's why we're not a playoff team. It's got to be the standard. The lesson is look at what we're capable of. It's hard to do this every single night."
The Pistons forced the Bulls to play under the same amount of duress the Bulls put everyone else under as the league's best defense, two years running. Frank said the Pistons made "winning plays" and he was right, despite ultimately coming up short in "winning time."
They made life uncomfortable for Rose, who might've felt like he was at home given the throng of Bulls fans who made the trek up I-94.
What did the Pistons prove? Ultimately, nothing if this isn't followed up with taking the next step and ending a three-year playoff drought.
Counting Sunday, they've either beaten or had close losses to each of the title contenders with the exception of Oklahoma City. They beat the Celtics twice, their lone meeting with the Lakers while coming close against the Spurs and Heat.
Rodney Stuckey, who will probably take the blame for the Pistons' loss with his two missed free throws in the last 1:48 of regulation, showed he can get to the basket at will, even against one of the league's best defenders (Luol Deng) and the league's best defense.
Thirty-two points and 18 free-throw attempts is proof of that.
"We fought tonight, we have to take this game and know we can compete against anyone," he said. "It was competitive. Chicago's not gonna back down and we did a good job of not backing down."
It wasn't just chippy on the floor, either. Frank, who's usually even-keeled couldn't help but throw a Phil Jackson-style thinly-veiled shot at the officiating, in reference to the flagrant foul and Joakim Noah's ability to get 13 offensive rebounds.
"He got the benefit of some nudges," Frank said. "It's cause and effect, Rose puts so much pressure on a defense. Sometimes we get knocked out of the way. Sometimes it's a foul."
If we didn't know already, we found out Pistons rookie Brandon Knight (13 points, seven assists, five rebounds) is a fierce competitor who won't shy away from taking the challenge of going against the league's best point men. Two straight jumpers with Rose guarding him in the fourth quarter is your evidence.
"I'm happy with the way Brandon has been playing all year, Greg (Monroe) has been growing as well," Stuckey said. "Every game is a learning stone for them, and myself as well. Everyone makes mistakes; Everything isn't going to be perfect but you try to get better at it."
The Pistons will regroup this summer, presumably in the draft and free agency. Stuckey said the Pistons need a "couple more pieces" to truly compete with the Bulls but when asked if his team was going to win the game or the fight, he smiled.
"We're gonna win the fight," he said.
Although the Bulls will likely march onto May and possibly June, barring a showdown with Miami in the conference finals, the Pistons sent their rivals smarting and with a message:
"We're coming."

Pan-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Balsamic Dressing
One thing that's almost guaranteed to make me do a second take on a recipe when I'm flipping through a book or magazine is a title containing the word "skillet." To me that means I'm only going to dirty one pan to make that meal, and that my friends, is music to my ears. They're the kind of recipes we make fairly often around here, especially during the week - our current favorites are probably this lasagna and fiesta chicken and rice.
Had this pan-roasted chicken and potatoes not had an accompanying photo in the book that showcased it all in one pan and indicated it used bone-in, skin-on chicken (crispy chicken skin = major weakness of mine), I might have flipped right past but I'm so glad I didn't. The potatoes are par-cooked in the microwave first, allowing them to roast at the same rate as the chicken in the oven, so technically the dish isn't made entirely in the skillet, but close enough in my book! It's comfort food I can have on the table in about 30 minutes, can't beat that. Oh, and there's even a simple balsamic dressing drizzled on top to really amp up the flavor. Balsamic vinegar is one of my favorite things in the world so this was right up my alley but if you're not a fan you can definitely skip it.
Pan-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Balsamic Dressing
from The Best Simple Recipes
A few notes:
-The recipe called for a nonstick skillet, but I used cast iron without any problems.
-The cooking time indicated for the chicken assumes each breast is about 12 oz - if yours are larger, they're going to take longer.
-If you use a different type of potato, it may not hold its shape as well as the red ones do.
1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 3 lbs)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 450 F with a rack in the bottom position.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4-7 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften (microwaves vary greatly so your cooking time may be longer or shorter).
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken (skin side down) and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side (you're not trying to cook it through here). Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the softened potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown. Add the chicken back to the pan, placing it skin side up on top of the potatoes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through (it'll register 160 F on an instant read thermometer), about 13-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the vinegar, the garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the chicken and potatoes before serving.

It does my heart good to see "bone in, skin on" chicken breasts. I am so bored with the boneless/skinless pandemic. Funny thing about balsamic, if someone else is cooking and uses it I like it. If I'm cooking, I'm never sure I like it. Go figure.

Do you know, I don't think I have ever cooked chicken with the bone in? For some reason I am convinced I will cook it completely wrong. But with this balsamic dressing this dish is everything right in the world.

Wow. What an opening photo! I am such a fan of one pot/pan meals, and how can you say no to crispy chicken skin?? (I can't).
I love how just a few ingredients can turn into this spectacular looking meal! In college one pan + minimal ingredients = major win :) - September 27, 2012 at 1:38 PM

This is perfection! I am forever looking for ways to use bone-in chicken (because it's so cheap) and this looks delicious! I can't wait to make it!

I tend not to get real interested in roast chicken... I make it on occasion, but it's certainly not one of my favorites... But, I have to say that this dish absolutely got my attention. It looks fabulous, and I can just imagine how tasty those potatoes must be! Yum!

Properties in Florida Housing's portfolio that are at least 15 years old and meet certain eligibility requirements will be able to apply for these funds in 2014.

Understanding the FTC Green Marketing Guidelines
Do you know the do's and don'ts of marketing green features? What you don't know could end up being a liability. Check out this tutorial on marketing from the Federal Trade Commission.
Oldsmar Attains Green Local Government Certification
The city of Oldsmar 'green team,' with the leadership of Mayor Doug Bevis (3rd from right), enthusiastically undertook the FGBC green local government certification process and earned the city a silver level designation. FGBC Executive Director, Suzanne Cook (front-left), presented the award during a recent City Council meeting. |
The city of Oldsmar is the 47th local government to earn the Florida Green Building Coalition's (FGBC) certified green local government designation after it successfully met the sustainability standards estabilshed in the FGBC Green Local Government Certification program. Oldsmar achieved 32 percent of its 345 applicable points, earning it a silver-level designation. [More]
FGBC Background and Mission
The Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) is a nonprofit 501(C)3 Florida corporation dedicated to improving the built environment. Our mission is "to lead and promote sustainability with environmental, economic, and social benefits through regional education and certification programs."
FGBC was conceived and founded in the belief that green building programs will be most successful if there are clear and meaningful principles on which "green" qualification and marketing are based. We are a membership-based organization governed by a Board of Directors and corporate officers who are elected by the general membership.
The FGBC is continually finding new and innovative ways to educate builders, developers, local governments, and consumers about how to achieve a healthier, more environmentally sustainable future.
The purposes of the Florida Green Building Coalition are:
- To develop, implement and administer voluntary green building standards and certification programs in Florida, which will be open to any interested party
- To award its certification mark to qualified projects
- To educate the general public, businesses, institutional and governmental bodies of the long term benefits of sustainable development and green building practices
- To encourage housing affordability by increasing building sustainability
- To stimulate statewide acquaintance and fellowship among members and others interested in green building practices
- To provide opportunities for members and other interested parties to increase their knowledge of green building practices.

'Breaking Dawn - Part 2' ticket sales off to strong start
Ticket sales have surpassed first-day advance sales for 'Part 1'
Advance tickets to "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" just went on sale Monday, but they've already brought in $1.17 million in sales, reports E! Online.
That total was amassed in just one day, showing (unsurprisingly) that fans are really, really eager to see how this five-film saga will end.
Interestingly enough, ticket sales for "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" have surpassed first-day advance ticket sales for 2011's "Part 1," which brought in $626,000.
Around a quarter of those purchasing admission are signing up for a marathon dose of "Twilight," opting to view the previous four films before watching the final installment, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
The beginning of the end starts Nov. 16.

Order in the next 4 hours 48 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
You don't always want to keep internal doors closed and locked, particularly the nursery or bedroom door. Doors can present a danger to young children as they can easily trap their delicate little fingers in them as they slam shut.
The Clippasafe Door Stopper acts as a cushion to prevent the door from closing or slamming into young children. It has the added bonus of preventing the door from banging loudly, which is especially useful if you've just put tired youngsters to bed.
Some of our doors are quite thick and I needed a door stopper that would fit. These fit perfectly on thicker doors. They do look a bit more chunky than normal ones for thinner doors but they do the job just fine!
I have peace of mind when my 10 month old grandson comes to visit, when hes crawling around and exploring I know these door guards will protect his fingers and present him closing the door trapping himself in a room.the delivery was fast.
Ideal easy safety solution for v active and inquisitive Grandchild. So many safety factors to worry about when it's not the babies home environment and he has a fascination with doors! At least little fingers are safe and a very inexpensive product.
Good sturdy foam and easy to fit even on my apparently quite thick doors. Good to know that my twins can't squish their own - or each others - fingers in the doors. Especially like that they are simple and white so they don't stand out on my white doors. I hated the bright yellow ones we had previously! As always with kiddicare, these were a great price too.
Fab door stopper. Ideal for the purpose it was bought for.....holding kitchen door ajar so little fingers don't get caught when it slams shut. Going to purchase more for grandma's house. Pleased with purchase.

Miss Me Sequin Inset Easy Boot Stretch Jean 5 5
My Favorite This is my favorite pair of jeans. I purchased 1 size smaller since they are "easy fit" and I like to wear fitted jeans. I purcased this pair over a year ago and they haven't lost a single stone or embellishment. I have several Miss Me and I love them all. I am 6'0 tall and curvy and I would say my thighs are on the thick side and these jeans fit perfectly. I have always had a very limited selection of jeans to choose from because of my height. So glad that I found Miss Me a couple of years ago...the are the best jeans for me! March 14, 2013
Miss Me Rocks These jeans are fabulous! I love the sparkle on the pockets and the backside. These are quality made denim jeans, there is even an added fabric backing inside on the back of the sparkle to prevent you from itching all day long from the sequins! Miss Me jeans really are designed to enhance curves in all the right places, my guy doesn't even complain about the price once he sees them on me :) March 29, 2012
A little big but love them! I normally wear a 36x35 in all buckle jeans and these are a little loose. If I would have known they would be loose I would have gotten 34x35 but I still love them! January 2, 2012
Finally! Jeans That Fit! I am in between plus size and regular size clothes, and I have a super hard time finding jeans that really fit. They are usually too long, too high rise, and too big in the legs from the knee down. I hate how plus size jeans fit, but I found these jeans and they really fit me. I am a 36 waist and a 31 inseam. I actually look in proportion now, and I love them. The stitching and sequin details are just too cute! I really recommend these jeans. They are very good quality jeans that will last for several years. The last pair I had lasted me 3 years! I promise, if you are a plus size woman, and have problems with jeans making you look bigger than you actually are, don't look at the price tag, just buy them! You won't be disappointed! December 6, 2011
in love with MISSME this jean was my first pair of MissMe jeans, they fit great and make the tush look great!! If you want an awesome pair of jeans BUY THEM! my husband is now taking me out just so I can wear my missme jeans, he loves them on me just as much as I do :)))) now I have 3 pairs of missme jeans, and looking forward to buying more!

Kya Super Kool Hain Hum is the story of two men who are going through a bit of a rough "period"… Adi (Tusshar Kapoor) is a struggling actor who'd do anything to star in a Rohit Shetty film. Sid (Riteish Deshmukh) is a small-time DJ who's trying hard to get that big party. Into their lives come Simran (Neha Sharma), who's Adi's good luck charm/ticket into Bollywood, and Anu (Sarah Jane Dias), who suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a fashion show, thanks to Sid. There commences a wild journey filled with dogs, lesbians, a fraud jyotish and, of course, innuendos galore.
Is this a super kool watch for the weekend? Read our Pros and Cons list to find out.
+ The chemistry between Tusshar Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh. These two work really well in tandem, sharing a comic timing that's super and delivering quite a few laughs along the way. Individually, Riteish delivers a better performance than his co-star (Tusshar hams it up, though I suppose that's the need of the hour in such a film). However, it's difficult to consider them separately since they deliver most of the laughs as one entity.
+ The gags. I have to say, some of the gags were really good. Watch out for the Nargis/Diana joke as well as the "sex on the beach" one (the latter actually had the audience applauding). Of course, the humour is all wicked, relying majorly on innuendos and double entendres to do the trick. And while many of the jokes are inane and groan-worthy, that's exactly what makes them funny – if you're up for that kind of humour.
+ It doesn't get offensive. Even though the jokes are of the sexual variety, the film does not become disrespectful at any time – unless, of course, adult jokes aren't your cup of tea (in which case I don't see why you'd go see the film anyway). There is gay stereotyping that could make some people uncomfortable – but it doesn't veer too far off the Dostana brand, so if you were okay with that, KSKHH shouldn't be a problem.
- Stale jokes. Unfortunately, while many of the gags are original and work well, there are a number of "old" jokes thrown in as well – stuff that you've heard for ages via SMS/e-mail forwards. That sort of dilutes the humour and I really wish they had done away with them; it undermines the credibility of the writer.
- Dull moments. This is the kind of film where you need to be laughing throughout, because it obviously has no plot to keep you interested otherwise. However, there were a few down moments that should have been chopped off, and I don't see why that would have been an issue to do… "flowing narrative" isn't exactly a prerequisite for a film like this anyway.
KSKHH doesn't take itself seriously – and neither should you. If you like brainless entertainers and specifically naughty humour, Kya Super Kool Hain Hum should interest you – take a bunch of friends along, in that case. If you're the type to prefer "good cinema", please stay away – this film has no plot or substance in any way (and it really shouldn't). 2.5/5 stars.

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
In Castries, capital of the small Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Derek Alton Walcott and his twin brother, Roderick, were born January 23, 1930. Their mother, Alix, was a teacher in a Methodist primary school, while their father, Warwick, was a civil official and a gifted artist. Although Walcott lost his father when he was hardly a year old, fatherly guidance was provided by the St. Lucian painter Harold Simmons, the mentor commemorated in Walcott's autobiographical poem Another Life.
Being of mixed blood—his grandfathers were white Dutch and English, his grandmothers black—and the son of Protestants in a predominantly Catholic island, Walcott experienced from an early age the schizophrenia of New World blacks and mulattoes in an alien environment. While childhood in a colonial backwater island might seem disadvantageous, Walcott believes that his classroom exposure to traditional Western culture—Greek, Roman, and British—was vitally enriching. Combining this with his informal contact with African slave tales and life in the streets, he learned to admire both currents of his dual heritage. Early evidence of his gift for cultural synthesis appears in one of Walcott's first plays, Henri Christophe. This dramatization of the famous black rebel general is couched in the poetic images and the elaborate language of Elizabethan England.
In order to provide an outlet for his drama, Walcott and his brother founded the St....

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: World Poets)
Derek Alton Walcott was born in Castries, the capital of St. Lucia, to a civil servant, Warwick, and to Alix, the head of a Methodist grammar school. St. Lucia is a volcanic island of 238 square miles in the Lesser Antilles, halfway between French Martinique to the north and English St. Vincent to the southeast. It was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502, then contested for generations by the French and British, until the latter gained legal control in 1803, to yield their colonial hold only in 1959. Still, the Gallic influence remains, insofar as the population of about 100,000, largely of black African descent, speaks a Creole patois.
Because Walcott is descended from a white grandfather and black grandmother on both sides of his family, he has found himself ineluctably suspended between loyalties, resentments, fears, and fantasies. He has referred in essays to a schizophrenic boyhood, split between two lives: the interior pull toward poetry and the exterior push toward the world of action, as well as the raw spontaneity of his native argot opposed to the syntactical sinews of formal English. Inescapably, he has been both victim and victor of his divided culture, a kind of Caribbean Orestes who shuttles between the legends and folklore of his upbringing and the formal traditions of the cosmopolitan West. In his work Walcott has made much of the bridging geography of the West Indies, since they link Columbus and Robinson Crusoe, Africa and...

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Derek Walcott and twin brother Roderick were one year old when their father died at age thirty-five after an operation. The boys' mother, headmistress of a Methodist infant school, worked hard to keep them and their older sister Pamela at college.
Walcott completed his B.A. at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, in 1953, with three years in English, French, and Latin, and stayed on for another year as a graduate student in education. He taught in St. Lucia, Grenada, and Jamaica, married three times, and has three children.
Through a grant, Walcott studied theater in New York from 1957 to 1958. He then settled in Trinidad in 1959, wrote, and founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop. With Roderick, he founded the St. Lucia Arts Guild in 1950. His publications include fourteen books of poetry and four volumes of plays.
Walcott has characterized his childhood as schizophrenic. Of African and English ancestry, he grew up in a middle-class, Protestant family in a society that was predominantly Roman Catholic and poor. Educated in European history, art, and literature, he is also in contact with the black, African-based culture of the St. Lucian majority. All that is "illegitimate, rootless, mongrelized" became the metaphor for his artistic and dramatic approach. Responding to fellow Caribbean writer V. S. Naipaul's argument...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
On January 23, 1930, Derek Alton Walcott and his twin brother, Roderick Alton Walcott, were born to Warwick and Alix Walcott on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, in the West Indies. In addition to his twin brother, he had an older sister, Pamela. Walcott was born into a Methodist family while most of his neighbors were Catholic, the legacy of long French colonial rule. In April, 1931, Walcott's father, clerk of the First District Court, died, leaving Alix Walcott, the headmistress of the Methodist Infant Day School, to rear the children. With two white grandfathers and his family's economic and religious status, Walcott was caught between races and classes.
Four influences shaped his aesthetic growth: his formal English education, his talent as a painter, the life of the island itself, and his religious background. His colonial education was thorough, including Greek and Latin and the essential European masterpieces. Following his father's talents, Walcott was as interested in painting as in literature. His mentor, the local painter Harry Simmons, recognized that Walcott's talents as a writer surpassed his talents as a painter and guided him through the transition from painting to poetry. His poems are replete with the language and actions of fishers and peasants, as well as the acute observations of the natural world. His religious background...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Who inherits language and what powers come from that language and the circumstances of its inheritance? Derek Walcott's poetry and drama consistently address and explore this question. His use of image, metaphor, persona, rhyme, and meter are all marked by technical distinction. While the effects may falter in individual poems—metaphors that finally overreach, for example—the demands made upon language to sing are fully present. His themes of exile, language, art, memory, and love necessitate his rigorous brilliance. Finally, his sense of landscape, particularly of the Caribbean and the sea, informs his language.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Derek Alton Walcott is one of the most highly regarded poets writing in English, let alone from the English-speaking Caribbean. His prodigious talent and energy were recognized early in Castries, St. Lucia, and his mother, Alix Walcott, encouraged him, his older sister, and his twin brother, Roderick Walcott (also an accomplished playwright), in their art. Their father, Warwick Walcott, wrote and painted watercolors as an avocation; he died at age thirty-five when the twin brothers were one year old. Derek Walcott has won numerous awards and fellowships for his writing, among them the Welsh Arts Council International Writers Prize (1980), the John D. and Catherine MacArthur Foundation Prize (1981), the Los Angeles Times Book Award (1986) for his Collected Poems, 1948-1984, the Queen's Gold Medal for Literature (1989), the St. Lucia Cross (1993), and the Nobel Prize in Literature (1992). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (1966) and an honorary member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters (1979).
Walcott attended St. Mary's College in Castries and the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, earning a B.A. in English, French, and Latin in 1953. With his mother's financial help, he published his first volume of poems in 1948. His first play, Henri Christophe, was produced in 1950 by the...

Derek Walcott gave the West Indies a voice. In his plays, poetry, and critical essays, Walcott has long sought to unearth independent identities for the people of the West Indies and to explore the aftereffects of colonization. To do so, Walcott employs a rich mixture of images and language, particularly in his most famous play, Dream on Monkey Mountain. As both poet and dramatist, his writing is a mélange—an appropriate approach given the mixture of cultures in the West Indies. He also uses language to explore his postcolonial concerns by mixing local tongues with English, highlighting the unique identities of West Indian people. In doing so, Walcott's writing underscores the rich, unique, and complicated culture of the Caribbean.Essential Facts
- In 1959, Walcott founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, which seeks to promote works of West Indian theater.
- Though his writing style developed apart from Latin American literature, Walcott's work has drawn many parallels to the magic realism movement.
- Walcott's epic poem Omeros, a reimagining of the Odyssey, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992.
- Walcott teaches at Boston University and cofounded in 1981 the Boston Playwright's Theatre, which specializes in performing new plays.
- One of Walcott's less successful ventures was cowriting the Broadway musical The Capeman with musician Paul Simon. The costly production was plagued by troubles and poor reviews, closing quickly after its premiere.

Biography (Epics for Students)
From his earliest verse written at the age of eighteen, Walcott has drawn material from his own experience. The autobiographical aspect of Omeros becomes unavoidable, given the frequency with which he explicitly interjects his own persona. Furthermore, the primary subject of this poem is his native St. Lucian heritage: the rich Creole culture of his transplanted countrymen, the unfulfilled legacy of his father who died prematurely, and the all-embracing sea.
Derek and his twin brother Roderick were born to Warwick (a civil servant) and Alix Walcott (headmistress of a Methodist school) in the capital city of Castries on 23 January 1930. When the twins were about a year old, their artistically gifted father died suddenly, willing them his desire to capture the beauty of the island in the few poems and watercolors he left. Derek showed an early interest in both media. He took painting lessons from his father's friend Harold Simmons; and with a loan from his mother, privately published his first collection of verse, 25 Poems, which he sold on the streets of Castries.
After completing his secondary schooling at St. Mary's College under English and Irish Catholic teachers, Walcott accepted a Colonial Development Scholarship to earn his baccalaureate degree from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica in 1953. He taught briefly in Grenada and Jamaica before winning a Rockefeller fellowship to study theater in New York under Jose...

Biography (Literature of Developing Nations for Students)
Derek Walcott was born January 23, 1930, in the capital city of Castries on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Lucia, a territory at that time under the dominance of Britain. While the official language of St. Lucia was English, Walcott grew up also speaking a French-English patois. Both of his grandfathers were white and both grandmothers were black. From the beginning, Walcott was, in terms of St. Lucia, a bit of an outsider. In a poor, Catholic country, his parents were middle class and Protestant: his mother was a teacher at a Methodist grammar school who worked in local theater, and his father was a civil servant by vocation and a fine artist and poet by avocation. Walcott's father died shortly after Derek and his twin brother were born. The Walcott home was filled with books, paintings, and recorded music. Walcott studied painting and published, at age fourteen, his first poem. At eighteen, Walcott borrowed $200 from his mother to publish his first book, 25 Poems. To pay back his mother, he sold copies of the book to his friends.
In his early years, Walcott was schooled on St. Lucia, but in 1950, he attended the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, getting his degree in 1953 but staying on one more year to study education. From 1954 to 1957, Walcott taught in Grenada, St. Lucia, and Jamaica, and wrote and produced plays along with his brother, Roderick. In 1954, Walcott married. Since then he has been married three times and has had...

Biography (Literature of Developing Nations for Students)
Derek Walcott was born on January 23, 1930, in Castries, St. Lucia, the West Indies. He and his twin brother, Roderick, were the sons of Warwick and Alix Walcott. Warwick Walcott, a painter, poet, and civil servant, died when the twins were one year old. The boys and their elder sister were raised by their mother, a teacher who also supported her family by working as a seamstress. In this middle-class Protestant family, literature and artistry were emphasized.
Like his father, Walcott wanted to become a painter. While he painted his whole life, Walcott's primary focus became words, in English, instead of images while a teenager. Attending St. Mary's College on St. Lucia, Walcott became a poet. Before entering the university, he self-published his first book of poetry at the age of eighteen, entitled 25 Poems. He borrowed the money to publish it from his mother, and made the money back by selling it himself.
In 1949, Walcott entered the University of the West Indies on Trinidad, from which he graduated in 1953 with a B.A. Even before graduation, Walcott began a teaching career, which he has continued to pursue on the secondary and university levels. While still a student, Walcott also began writing plays. His first was Henri Christophe (1951). In both his poetry and plays, Walcott often deals with the racial complexities of the West Indian islands and his own racial heritage. His two grandfathers were white, while both of his grandmothers were black and descendants of slaves.
Walcott's first successful play was The Sea at Dauphin (1954). This contributed in part to Walcott obtaining a Rockefeller Fellowship to study playwriting and directing in New York City from 1957 to 1958. Upon his return home to Trinidad, in 1959, Walcott founded the Trinidad Theater Workshop, which provided a forum for his plays. For the workshop, Walcott wrote his best-known play, Dream on Monkey Mountain (1967). Other significant titles of his include The Joker of Seville (1974) and O Babylon! (1976).
While Walcott continued to write plays, over the years he became better known for his poetry. His breakthrough collection was 1962's In a Green Night: Poems, 1948-1960, while another important volume was The Castaway and Other Poems (1965). In 1990, Walcott published his poetic masterpiece, Omerus, a 325-page epic poem which gives a Caribbean twist to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. In 1992, Walcott won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his poetry, one of many honors he has received over his career.
Beginning in the early 1980s, Walcott split his time between teaching literature and creative writing at Boston-area universities and in Trinidad. Though the 1990s, Walcott continued to teach and write (including 1997's collection of poetry The Bounty and The Capeman: The Musical with Paul Simon). He also reestablished his work with the Trinidad Theater Workshop after a decade-long hiatus. Married three times, Walcott has a son and two daughters.
