Description
Soundings was first published in 1969 as an interim anthology of poetry for students. It remained in use for over two decades before being replaced, accumulating annotations and thoughts from hundreds of thousands of users. Today, it is reissued in its original form, featuring the same typography and imagery that made it a beloved school book. The book's impact on its readers was significant, treating them as adults rather than teenagers. Its poetry and design have stood the test of time, with some copies fetching surprising prices years after their initial publication. This reprint offers a chance to experience Soundings once more, with its unique blend of poetry and annotations that reflect the thoughts and daydreams of those who used it. A new generation can now discover the value of this anthology, which has become a treasured find for many who rediscovered it in attics or second-hand bookshops.
