[Begins with the question, \"Why does Drum-Taps require a sequel, and Battle-Pieces a supplement?,\" and goes on to note how Whitman and Herman Melville \"could simply have ended their books with the close of Civil War hostilities,\" but both felt \"something more\" was needed \"to give the war shape and meaning: an additional movement toward reunification and reconciliation,\" though both supplements brought \"formal disruption\" as \"reconciliation is deferred or displaced into a separate section of the text and marked by an all too visible scar or seam\"; goes on to demonstrate how \"the break in Whitman's text marks the point between wartime conflict and postwar reconciliation, a necessary pivot in what he comes to see as a single temporal and psychological process,\" while for Melville, \"reconciliation is blocked by the politicized struggle of Reconstruction, a discursive shift that leaves the volume not so much temporally incomplete as structurally flawed\" (\"Whitman sees reconciliation as a task that poetry can still accomplish, given time; Melville fears that it may lie beyond the reach of discourse altogether\"); concludes by observing that, \"nearly 150 years later, it is all too clear that Melville, not Whitman, was the more prescient, for the tasks of reconciliation and reunification still remain.\"]Bennett, Joe. \"Finding Walt's Wisdom amid the Jakes.\" Dominion Post [Wellington, New Zealand] (February 10, 2016).
