"Heinrich Heine's 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 "idealistic" birth of the Heinrich Heine press" 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's 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's University.
