{"product_id":"drum-taps","title":"Drum-Taps - The Complete 1865 Edition (NYRB Poets)","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50957706821920,"sku":"9781590178621","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781590178621.jpg?v=1763759262","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/drum-taps","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
