1972 Someone Cares, The Collected Poems of Helen Steiner Rice, Hardcover. Measures about 10.25" by 7". 128 pages. Good condition. MIssing dust cover.
This 1972 edition of "Someone Cares" is a foundational collection of the works of Helen Steiner Rice, the most prominent inspirational poet of the mid-20th century. Spanning 128 pages, this volume compiles the comforting and sincerity-driven verse that became a staple of American gift-giving in the early seventies. The interior layout is clean and traditional, focusing entirely on the rhythmic and accessible poetry that explores themes of solace, faith, and human connection.
While this copy is missing its original dust jacket, the black and blue color-blocked binding gives it a grounded, understated presence. This specific 1970s aesthetic leans away from the ornate and toward a more sober, Mid-Century Modern simplicity. It is an excellent fit for a library or office space that favors a darker, more masculine or neutral palette. This book is a significant piece for collectors of 20th-century inspirational literature, offering a tactile piece of history from an era when Rice’s work was at the height of its popularity. It remains a sturdy, readable volume that serves as both a literary resource and a quiet, sophisticated decorative accent.
