The Castaway and Other Poems

Derek Walcott · Jonathan Cape, London · 1965

No book-club issue documented. Cape reissued the collection in a different format in 1969 and reprinted it in 1972 and 1978; the 1969 Cape paperback circulates and is a later 'first thus', not the first edition. The other common trap is FSG's The Gulf (1970), offered where Castaway poems are sought.
