Derek Walcott will be talking about his epic poem 'Omeros'

The BBC needs questions to be emailed from overseas and if you're in the UK we need guests to be part of the audience at BBC Bush House at 16.00hrs.

If you would like to put a question to Derek Walcott about 'Omeros', please email worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk.

In 'Omeros' Derek Walcott sets off to 'see the cities of many men and to know their minds', in a dazzling reworking of Homer's stories and traditions which takes us around the Caribbean and beyond to the American West and London.
