Battle Pieces: The Civil War Poems of Herman Melville by Lisa Lipkin, Herman Melville
3.0
Many of these moving, all of them interesting, love the imagery in many as well.
Towards the end they arc to a "both sides now" feel (cemented in his afterword) and that is a disappointment, even if not surprising. (Melville very much falls into the "family squabble" framework of understanding the Civil War, re. Cody Marrs' analysis of post-CW representations).
