Dryad Press is an American small press and publisher. [1]
Dryad Press got its beginning in 1967 when Merrill Leffler and Neil Lehrman founded Dryad magazine. [2] Leffler was a writer and editor and is currently the poet laureate of Takoma Park, Maryland. His work has been published in books, [3] and in journals like the Jewish Book Council's Paper Brigade. [4] Lehrman was a partner in a CPA firm in addition to producing plays and poetry readings in San Francisco, where he lived. [5] Dryad was originally a quarterly, but as time went on the issues were published on a more irregular basis. [6] The magazine took its name from a line in the John Keats poem "Ode to a Nightingale." [5] In 1974, Dryad began to publish books, [2] including issues of Dryad that were published as books, leading to the establishment of Dryad Press. [6] Dryad Press initially focused on poetry, but has since branched out to include both fiction and non-fiction. [6] Dryad Press specializes in works relating to Jewish subjects and works by authors connected to the state of Maryland. [2] Authors published by Dryad Press include Rod Jellema, Myra Sklarew, Herman Taube, and Paul Zimmer. [2] Dryad Press is based in Takoma Park, Maryland. [7]
