Peter Dorn on his Heinrich Heine Press
"Heinrich Heine\u2019s writings, poetry, and ideology delighted and enlightened me. He became a personal, meaningful experience, in the same way I feel, that private printing is a personal experience, printing meaningful things. These feelings make up the \u201cidealistic\u201d birth of the Heinrich Heine press\u201d says Peter Dorn in Reader, Lover of Books, Lover of Heaven (North York Public Library, 1978. Designed by Glenn Goluska).
Listen to my conversation with Peter about his Heinrich Heine Press, his immigration to Canada, his work at Eaton\u2019s department store, Canadian book design in the 1950s and 1960s, the influence of Carl Dair and Frank Newfeld, his move to Kingston and his work at Queen\u2019s University.
