Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott's The Prodigal is a journey through physical and mental landscapes, from Greenwich Village to the Alps, Pescara to Milan, Germany to Cartagena. But always in "the music of memory, water," abides St. Lucia, the author's birthplace, and the living sea. In this book of poems, Derek Walcott has created a sweeping yet intimate epic of an exhausted Europe studded with church spires and mountains, train stations and statuary, where the New World is an idea, a "wavering map," and where History subsumes the natural history of his "unimportantly beautiful" island home. Here, the wanderer fears that he has been tainted by his exile, that his life has become untranslatable, and that his craft itself is rooted in betrayal of the vivid archipelago to which, like Antaeus, he must return for the very sustenance of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prodigal and Other Poems Ast night the boy came back to me again, The laughing boy, all-credulous of good Long lost, far-wandered in the ways of men, He came and roused me with an olden mood. He came the lover and enthusiast, Shook off my years, and with enlightened eyes Smiled at the shadow that the world had cast, And looked at life with all the old surprise; And I, the slave of patience, took him in, Gave him my heart and bade him welcome home, Thrilled with his dreams of all I yet may win Allured again in golden paths to roam, And now I know life has no greater joy Than, having lived, to be once more a boy.

Book excerpt: Now more than ever, we all need vocabulary and permission to talk about the hard things in life with pandemic, war and human rage as every day occurrences for us. Joel's poetry targets that need and helps others express their own hurt, pain and joy in prayers and reflections for life. His third collection of poetry, The Prodigal Chronicles: Poems for Coming Home (with foreword by Jon Mitchell, afterword by Basil Watson and special guest poet Amaris Watson), focuses on one of Joel's favorite topics: the Love of our Father in Heaven, and our desperate need for his daily welcoming. Here is Joel's introduction to the book: "For me, the one topic that never gets old is that of the love of God as told in the parable of the prodigal son. Maybe it is being a dad, or having "run away" from home so many times over, but knowing that Jesus has paid my way back to the Father never ceases to comfort me like no other news can. I recall as a college student, coming home one break to my own father throwing a dinner for me in the presence of my mom and brothers. He knew more than I did that I was a prodigal then. As he threw a robe over my shoulders (bathrobe, but a robe nonetheless), a gold ring and then hugged and kissed me in his joy and tears, I knew it was a permanent and divine moment I was living. Sitting down to dinner that day many years ago, I felt not an ounce of shame for my past, nor regret that I was being singled out because of the overwhelming fact that my dad had thrown me a party - just as I was. Almost 15 years later, I continue to need the homecoming that my earthly dad showed me that day. May these poems tell us all the deeper story of our woundedness and help beckon us close to the arms of our Father in Heaven time and again. May we never, ever leave home though it takes our whole lives to arrive."
