Derek Walcott (b. 1930, St. Lucia - d. 2017, St. Lucia) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992 "for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment." The Star-Apple Kingdom was Walcott's tenth collection of poetry at the height of a career that spanned over six decades.
