After Saint Lucia independence was achieved, one of the most important poets from the English-speaking Caribbean appeared: Derek Walcott, from Saint Lucia, together with Edward Kamau Brathwhite, from Barbados. Walcott, who won the Nobel Prize on Literature in 1992, is perhaps the most famous Caribbean writer, not only for his poetic works but for his plays as Dream on Monkey Mountain (1970) as well. Among his most famous books of poems are: In a Green Night (1962), Another Life (1973), The Star-Apple Kingdom (1979) and Omeros (1990).
