Ekstasis Editions is a Canadian literary publisher, with emphasis on poetry, fiction and criticism. Since 1982, Ekstasis has published literature of international quality in a way that is beautiful and lasting. The word 'Ekstasis' comes from an ancient Greek word, meaning 'to stand outside oneself.' We strive to publish literature that is integrative rather than disintegrative, oceanic rather than continental, and holistic rather than fragmentary.Originally, Ekstasis published almost exclusively poetry, but it has diversified and branched out into related forms such as literary fiction, metaphysics, theatre and most recently Children's and Young Adult books under the Cherubim Books imprint.
