About this book
The sound of war. The voice of a nation. The poetry of compassion.
Drum-Taps by Walt Whitman is a moving and historically significant collection of poems inspired by the American Civil War.
Written during one of the most turbulent periods in American history, these poems reflect Whitman's deep emotional response to the realities of war—its courage, devastation, sacrifice, and profound human cost. Having served as a volunteer nurse in military hospitals, Whitman brings an intimate and compassionate perspective to the suffering of soldiers and the spirit of the nation.
This complete edition includes powerful poems such as:
"Beat! Beat! Drums!"
"The Wound-Dresser"
"Vigil Strange I Kept on the Field One Night"
Through vivid imagery and free verse innovation, Drum-Taps captures both patriotic fervor and heartfelt mourning, revealing Whitman's belief in unity, democracy, and the enduring strength of the human soul.
An essential work for lovers of classic American poetry, history, and literary modernism.
