Soundings by Augustine Martin
Soundings was first published in 1969. It was intended as an interim anthology of poetry for the Leaving Certificate until such time as a more permanent volume could be devised. Twenty six years later it was replaced. In the meantime it had passed through the hands of hundreds of thousands of students in Ireland.Augustine Martin was one of a small handful of pioneers who revolutionised the teaching of English in the 1960. His energy and enthusiasm as an educator were imparted originally as a secondary teacher at Mount St Joseph’s in Roscrea and later as lecturer, subsequently as professor of Anglo Irish Literature at Unversity College Dublin. Throughout his life he encouraged his students to commit to their own intellectual freedom. His ambition in Soundings was, he wrote, ‘to appeal to every teacher’s core and every student’s potential’. Soundings has endured beyond its editor’s early death in 1995.
