After his death, which occurred while he was living in reduced circumstances, his early literary work has enjoyed wider recognition, as reflected in "Winds Can Wake up the Dead..." and "The Penguin Book of Caribbean Short Stories", both published in the 1990s, "In Search of Asylum", which appeared in 2011, and in James Davis' 2015 biography. At the time, however, his passing appears to have gone relatively unnoticed, although Arna Bontemps wrote of his death, from a fifth heart attack, in a letter to Langston Hughes, dated 1 September 1966. Countee Cullen's well-known poem "Incident" is dedicated to Walrond. Novels  Anthology
