Walt Whitman worked as a nurse in an army hospital during the Civil War and published Drum-Taps, 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, Drum-Taps also helped to create a new, modern poetry of war, a poetry not just of patriotic exhortation but of somber witness. Drum-Taps is thus a central work not only of the Civil War but of our war-torn times. But Drum-Taps as readers know it from Leaves of Grass 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.

والت ویتمن در طول جنگ داخلی به عنوان پرستار در یک بیمارستان ارتش کار می کرد و درام-تپس، اشعار جنگی خود را منتشر کرد، زیرا جنگ رو به پایان بود. بعدها، این کتاب به شکل گستردهای منتشر شد، از جمله «وقتی یاس بنفش در حیاط شکوفا شد»، مرثیه پرشور ویتمن برای لینکلن. تاثیرگذارترین و ماندگارترین شعری که از غم انگیزترین درگیری آمریکا بیرون آمد، درام تپس همچنین به خلق شعری جدید و مدرن کمک کرد، شعری نه فقط از جنگ. نصیحت میهن پرستانه اما شاهد تلخ. بنابراین، Drum-Taps یک اثر اصلی نه تنها مربوط به جنگ داخلی بلکه در دوران جنگ زده ما است. اما Drum-Taps همانطور که خوانندگان آن را از Leaves of Grass میدانند با کار 1865 متفاوت است. ویتمن کتاب را برش داد و سازماندهی مجدد کرد و وسعت احساس و بیواسطگی خام آن را کاهش داد. این نسخه، اولین نسخه ای است که کتاب را به شکل اصلی آن از زمان انتشار اولیه آن در 150 سال پیش ارائه می کند، یک مکاشفه است و به یکی از بزرگترین دستاوردهای ویتمن اجازه می دهد دوباره با شکوه دردسرساز ظاهر شود. ادامه مطلب…
