Walt Whitman wanted his poetry to reflect the lives of ordinary Americans. His first book, Leaves of Grass, drew few readers, but he continued to write throughout the Civil War and in 1865 published Drum Taps, a book of poetry based on his encounters with wounded soldiers. After Lincoln’s assassination, Whitman captured America’s grief with O Captain! My Captain!, his elegy to the fallen president. Full-color art. Author’s and illustrator’s notes. Bibliography.
