Up for sale is a rare and historically important Soviet poetry anthology titled Poems of 1955 (Стихи 1955 года), published in Moscow in 1956 by the State Publishing House of Fiction (Goslitizdat). Issued during the earliest years of the Khrushchev Thaw, this collection captures a pivotal moment in Soviet literary history when poetry began moving toward greater emotional openness and realism after the Stalin era.

The anthology gathers works by many of the leading Soviet poets of the mid-20th century and serves as a valuable snapshot of changing literary culture in postwar USSR society.
