News at Eleven: Can you see the rust-crusted gate

of an island churchyard, the bent man mending fishnets at noon? Can you feel the caution in a lizard's pause, the space between a pelican and its shadow? [Derek] Walcott can, and he fills collections from 1965's "The Castaway" to 2005's "The Prodigal" with moments that ask us to see and remember.
