Drum Taps by Walt Whitman
A collection of powerful poems written during the American Civil War that capture the noise and cadence of battle, the daily life of soldiers, and the deep personal sorrow of loss. Through vivid battlefield imagery, intimate sketches of nurses and wounded men, and meditations on democracy and mortality, the pieces move from the clamorous drumbeats of conflict to quieter mourning and a search for healing. The voice alternates between urgent patriotism and tender compassion, producing an intimate, human portrait of a nation in crisis.
