An update: the second printing of Distinctively Dionysian’s Late Fall/Early Winter issue is now complete. We hadn’t anticipated the first run vanishing so quickly—merci infiniment for your enthusiasm.

So, forgive the slight delay in responding to the last two weeks’ delightful letters et inquiries; we wanted to be sure the newest issue would accompany those replies. Forward we go, both issues et billets doux are in the post today.

Delighted that so many of the new Dionysian subscribers have discovered us via le bouche-à-oreille—friends, artfully placed cards, et the like. Your letters, charmants et divins, continue to enchant.

Ah, one more thing! We seized the occasion to print multiple batches of all of 2024’s issues et most of the Bacchus Edition‘s zines. (The Annie LeBrun softcover book will go for it’s second printing soon.)  If you missed an earlier Distinctively Dionysian issue, consider this your rendez-vous to catch up.

Santé et poésie, toujours!

Veins of Ice, Heart of Fire: Late Fall/Early Winter issue is now here.

As mentioned, the Late Fall/Early Winter issue of Distinctively Dionysian, ‘Veins of Ice, Heart of Fire: The Winter of Me, the Edition of Extremes’ is complete. The Early Fall/Winter issue is thematically linked with the next issue, so part one of two issues focusing on so-called madness et hysteria, and “extremes” (up for interpretation- yours truly’s direction with “extremes” is ice-cold truths et beauty, always beauty.. other’s here have quite a different take – you choose!)

Submissions for the second issue are open. This next one is for the true enfants terribles. As always, a love letter to those who refused to conform, who chose the sublime over the sane.

 Distinctively Dionysian is an egoist-informed individualist journal, no isms are found here: anarchists, iconoclasts, and free-spirited wild-things bursting forth from the creative nothing are all encouraged to add a voice. Bring your most daring, your most untamed..!

Alors, mes amis rebelles, keep writing, keep creating, keep pouring your beautiful defiance into envelopes and mailboxes, but mostly in the world around you, untethered et always unrepentant.

Catching up to mail, printing Late Fall/Early Winter Issue -Un Petit Update, Pour Nos Chers Insurgés

Mail stack

Mon cher monde sauvage,

The whirlwind of ink, thoughts, et ferocious wildness pouring into the P.O. box these past two months has been an absolute délice. Each time it is unlocked, there’s a flood of anarchists et wild things—sending their stories, zines, sketches, photographs, their books, their amour fou. Tokens of love and madness. Physical proof that connection au-delà du cybernétique is alive, thriving, et perhaps louder than ever.

Some of you send along un petit peu d’argent, covering not just your zines but gifting others, et others send art crafted in fire: manifestos, journals, flyers, words of defiance so rich. Your creativity is a preuve éclatante that the anarchic spirit cannot, will not, be tamed. And oh, the artwork—paintings, illustrations, photographs that defy description, each whispering, “I am out here, too! Let’s be wildcats together!” ;) Every piece makes me blush, grin, et want to linger. Rebellion is always better with a touch of the sensuous.

But I digress—revenons à nos moutons. Let’s get to the update: the Late Fall/Early Winter issue of Distinctively Dionysian, ‘Veins of Ice, Heart of Fire: The Winter of Me, the Edition of Extremes’ is complete and printing. It’s a jewel, glimmering with egoist decadence, iconoclastic passion, et all, the whispers and roars of the wild. C’est un rêve rebelle.

Otto Gross: Psychoanalytic Anarchy, Erased Genius

This Introduction to Otto Gross is a companion zine to the “Persona Non-Grata” and “Resurrecting Legacy” columns in Distinctively Dionysian. In this issue, weOtto Gross Zine uncover Gross’s intellectual legacy and explore the tragedy of his erasure from history.

L’oubli délibéré—the deliberate forgetting of Otto Gross—is an intellectual injustice that demands rectification. Like Max Stirner, Gross’s radical ideas were buried by the powers that be deemed too dangerous or too truthful. Pathologized et labeled mentally unstable, Otto Gross was very purposely cast aside, his contributions to psychoanalysis and anarchist thought erased and largely forgotten.


Stirner’s direct influence on Gross has been neglected by academia and researchers alike. This zine series compiles over ten years of Otto Gross scholarship, presented in six volumes—a vital addition to the Distinctively Dionysian columns on Gross. ‘Erased Genius’ is the first issue of this edition, setting the stage for dthe eeper explorations of his work, his anarchistic rebellion, and the impact Max Stirner et Nietzsche had on Otto Gross.

_______________________

Cette Introduction à Otto Gross sert de zine compagnon aux colonnes “Persona Non-Grata” dans Distinctively Dionysian. Dans ce numéro, nous commençons à dévoiler l’héritage intellectuel de Gross et à explorer la tragédie de son effacement de l’histoire.

L’oubli délibéré d’Otto Gross est une injustice intellectuelle qui exige réparation. Comme Max Stirner, les idées radicales de Gross ont été enterrées par les pouvoirs en place, jugées trop dangereuses ou trop véridiques. Pathologisé et étiqueté comme mentalement instable, Otto Gross a été mis de côté, et ses contributions à la psychanalyse et à l’anarchisme sont en grande partie oubliées.

L’influence de Stirner sur Gross a été négligée par les universitaires et les chercheurs. Cette série de zines compile plus de dix ans d’études sur Otto Gross, présentée en six volumes — un ajout essentiel aux colonnes de Distinctively Dionysian consacrées à Gross. Ce premier zine pose les bases d’une exploration plus profonde de son œuvre.

Pour obtenir un exemplaire, envoyez 8$ US à Distinctively Dionysian, PO BOX 1332, Astoria, Oregon, USA, 97103.
