Ramsaran, J. A. – Black World, 1975
Reviews the poetry of Derek Walcott, a native of the West Indies, whose new volume 'Another Life' more resembles the poet-artists commentary on a gallery of scenes and portraits in Melvin Tolson's 'The Harlem Gallery' than anything else that has come from the English speaking Caribbean in the post-war period.

Discusses the 1971 Lincoln Center production of "The Duplex", focusing on and refuting Walter Kerr's critical review of that play; Kerr is shown unable or unwilling to accept Bullins' successful use of certain structural innovations--the same ones that he raves about in non-black drama. (Author/JM)
