About this book
The noise of a bustling port becomes the sound of wartime mobilization in Walt Whitman's poems. Drum-Taps brings together American war poetry whose subjects range from marching troops and camp scenes to wounded soldiers, remembrance and reconciliation. In the excerpt from City of Ships, wharves, tides and imposing buildings form the backdrop to a speaker's fervent call for the city to take up the war's cause.
The Centenarian's Story sets a different rhythm. A volunteer helps an elderly Revolutionary veteran up a hill in Brooklyn, where recruits are drilling below. The sight calls forth the older man's memories of battle on the same ground and of hearing the Declaration read to the army. These passages offer a way to study how Whitman's expansive verse connects public events with individual voices.
