This website is dedicated to the lives and works of Saint Lucia’s two Nobel Laureates, Sir William Arthur Lewis – Economics – 1979, and Hon. Derek Alton Walcott – Literature – 1992.

These two exceptional and gifted Saint Lucians epitomize the excellence to which each and every Saint Lucian should aspire.  They demonstrate to the world that greatness of intellect, spirit, perseverance, motivation, imagination, dedication, wisdom and understanding with all other attributes which are commingled to create greatness is not determined by size.

Saint Lucia which is only 238 sq. miles has two Nobel Laureates while Australia a continent of 2,941,285 sq. miles also has two Nobel Laureates.

This is a blessed land!  As you delve into the lives and works of our Nobel Laureates may you enjoy and appreciate our island and its people.
