Echoing Green Press has ceased trading and has deregistered as a close corporation as of February 2024. It was a small-scale publishing enterprise aiming to produce a diverse range of quality books (both in content and production) with a particularly South African focus, of interest to a national and international readership
Echoing Green Press derives its name from William Blake’s poem “The Ecchoing Green” (his spelling), one of his Songs of Innocence. The name suggests not only an ecological metaphor but the gathering place of the human community centred, as in Blake's poem, on the village green, where humanity and nature interact and echo each other back and forth.
The Echoing Green Press logo conveys symbolically a tree above and below the earth, branches and roots, suggesting the conscious and unconscious dimensions of the mind inter-related in the creative process.
