The Bounty was the first book of poems Walcott published after winning the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature.

For almost forty years his throbbing and relentless lines kept arriving in the English language like tidal waves, Walcott's great contemporary Joseph Brodsky once observed. He gives us more than himself or 'a world'; he gives us a sense of infinity embodied in the language.

On a Caribbean island, the morning after a full moon, Felix Hobain tears through the market in a drunken rage. Taken away to sober up in jail, all that night he is gripped by hallucinations: the impoverished hermit believes he has become a healer, walking from village to village, tending to the sick, waiting for a sign from God. In this dream, his one companion, Moustique, wants to exploit his power.
