Poetry In Motion

By CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY

Nobel prizewinning poet Derek Walcott is one of many big-name alumni converging on the University of the West Indies campus in Mona, Jamaica, April 14-18. The event is U.W.I.'s Gathering of Graduates, and the guest list includes the Prime Ministers of Jamaica, Barbados and St. Kitts. While in Jamaica, Walcott will be raising money for a new Caribbean-based international center promoting the arts and the study of economics. He will announce the project this week in Boston.
