Omeros Book IV

Once again, Walcott mixes up the styles and interjects a poem about a house. I like the way that he changes up the form of the novel/poem/epic/postmodern whatever you want to call it. More references to things like, "cablevision" feel strangely out of place in an epic. Maybe in 1000 years they will be as quaint as the references we see in older epics. Is an epic only an epic after a certain amount of time? Certainly, epics must undergo an aging process like fine wine.
