{"product_id":"drum-taps-walt-whitman-9781590178621","title":"Drum-Taps: The Complete 1865 Edition","description":"Walt Whitman worked as a nurse in an army hospital during the Civil War and published \u003ci\u003eDrum-Taps\u003c\/i\u003e, his war poems, as the war was coming to an end. Later, the book came out in an expanded form, including \"When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd,\" Whitman's passionate elegy for Lincoln. The most moving and enduring poetry to emerge from America's most tragic conflict, \u003ci\u003eDrum-Taps\u003c\/i\u003e also helped to create a new, modern poetry of war, a poetry not just of patriotic exhortation but of somber witness. \u003ci\u003eDrum-Taps\u003c\/i\u003e is thus a central work not only of the Civil War but of our war-torn times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eDrum-Taps\u003c\/i\u003e as readers know it from \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e is different from the work of 1865. Whitman cut and reorganized the book, reducing its breadth of feeling and raw immediacy. This edition, the first to present the book in its original form since its initial publication 150 years ago, is a revelation, allowing one of Whitman's greatest achievements to appear again in all its troubling glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590178629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590178621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 13","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985230528767,"sku":"9781590178621","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a65ae543-f6d9-4c06-bdad-d0cbd776f8fc.jpg?v=1683276332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drum-taps-walt-whitman-9781590178621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
