In stagnant gloom I toil thro day,
All that delights me put away.
Not even a bird, to one oppressed,
Warbles in an o'erlabored breast,
Nor from the fountains of delight
Falls one clear drop to ease my sight.
Yet, Thou who mad'st of dust my face,
And shut me in this bitter place,
Thou also, past the world to know,
Did hinges hang where heart may go
After day's travail-vain all words-
Into this garden of the Lord's.
--Walter de La Mare, "Poetry"

Anthroposophic Press, Inc., working under the name SteinerBooks, is an independent, non-profit publishing company, incorporated in New York in 1928. One of our core purposes is to promote and make available the works of Rudolf Steiner in the English language. Learn more about that project here.
What is today known as SteinerBooks is, and has always been, an independent publishing company both small in relative size and, as is the work of Rudolf Steiner itself, grand in its mission, purpose, and scope.
Incorporated as the Anthroposophic Press by Henry Monges in 1928, "The Press," as it's still sometimes referred to, is, apart from the Anthroposophical Society itself, the eldest ongoing anthroposophical organization in the United States.
The story of The Press, and what it is today, is connected, in many ways, with the stories of anthroposophical and spiritual publishing as a whole in the twentieth century. In fact, one could say that SteinerBooks is now the home of at least three distinct publishing impulses, initiated by unique individuals and carried forward by others. More ...
