Show detail Hide detail

Aya Press : Glynn Davies founded Aya Press in 1978 and launched his publishing program with Itzy Borenstein's "Ancient Music". Aya Press was one of Canada's important small literary presses. The press published the works of experimental poets such as bp Nichol and Steve McCaffery and lesser-known Canadian poets, as well as a number of volumes of fiction by such writers as Leon Rooke, Rikki, Susan Kerslake and Sharon Drache. Aya Press published 21 titles from 1977 to 1984 and is known for the outstanding quality and eclectic nature of its publications.

In 1985, Aya Press began to co-publish with Mercury Press and shortly thereafter, Aya Press disappeared from the imprint. The Mercury Press continues to publish fiction, Canadian murder mysteries, poetry, and trade non-fiction.
