Like Dreamers Do: A Personal, Opinionated Story of a Small Press Review Magazine

Delmore Schwartz's best‐known short story is called “In Dreams Begin Responsibilities.” Like many small‐press publications, the review journal New Pages began in dreams, chiefly those of its publisher, Casey Hill, who dreamed of creating a magazine which could simultaneously advance good small‐press literature, support movements for beneficial social change, and ultimately provide him and the New Pages staff an adequate living. I have been an academic reference librarian since 1977; I have known Casey since 1979, and have edited New Pages since 1981. I have found that Casey possesses an unusual ability to plant and nurture his dreams in the minds of others.
