- Derek Walcott, Earth .  I first learned of the Nobel Prize-winning Saint Lucian poet Derek Walcott while I was in graduate school at the University of Toronto. Although he taught writing at the University of Alberta and served as the university s first distinguished scholar in residence, I did not know his name until I moved away from the Prairies.  As soon as I read Walcott s poetry, it made sense to me that he had resided on the Prairies. His words have spaciousness and honesty that remind me of home. I grew up and still live in Pleasant Hill, a neighbourhood on the west side of Saskatoon. Pleasant Hill is a Native space: predominantly Cree, along with Métis, Anishinaabe, Dene and Inuit. It is a poor place, but it is ours.
