Bonjour! Bacchus Editions, the little press now overseeing the printing of Distinctively Dionysian alongside various books, translations, reprints, and adjacent projects, is now online.
(For Dionysian, this is not a departure from the slower world of print, letters, mail art, handwritten correspondence, and physical exchange that has surrounded the journal for years, but simply a place to keep track of things as they continued growing sideways. The projects were beginning to scatter a little too far across too many corners.)
Before much else: to those waiting on physical correspondence recently… thank you for the patience. Vous m’avez manqué aussi! Home again now, catching up steadily and settling back into slower rhythms. Had been waiting on the new issues to arrive too, very happy to finally have them here to send.
The newest issue of Distinctively Dionysian, Le Domaine du Néant (Spring 2026), is now available through the newly opened site alongside several newly released and forthcoming books.
This spring issue gathers essays, correspondences, poems, theatrical passages, philosophical reviews, archival selections, et fragments circling death, dissolution, refusal, beauty near collapse, and the strange persistence of language after certainty has already begun thinning out.
Included are selections surrounding How to Bury an Anarchist, Vol. II — Édition Révisée, excerpts from the Dancing in the Backwoods series, interludes on Nietzsche, Baudelaire, and Stirner at winter’s edge; theatrical writings from Artaud and Genet; thoughts on Mainländer’s Metaphysics of Dissolution; selections moving through Jacques Rigaut, Hélène Cixous, Zürn, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, and Le Grand Jeu; poetry, visual works, et several previews of forthcoming releases. A new letters section also begins with this issue, opening with correspondences to the late John Moore, Peter Gelderloos, and Alejandro de Acosta. Not debate, but correspondence through divergence.
Beyond Dionysian itself, the new Bacchus Editions site is a fun little rabbit hole, bringing together books, journals, translations, forthcoming releases, zines, updates, and the constellation that formed around related projects. There is also a bookshop, with my favorite section probably being the free downloads area. Not everything is finished yet, but it feels like a grand start.
Beyond the things housed there, there is deep affection for the many projects, journals, books, artists, wanderers, and strange little ventures moving elsewhere through the world. The Affinity Shelf is still being built, but it will host adjacent projects there as well. There is also a Reading Room under construction, to house the life archives of a few people, including the troublemaker known as Wolfi/Apio, and the marvelous Ron Sakolsky. The site itself is a bit of a living terrain where unexpected things may continue finding one another. Certain things simply belong near each other.
The Updates section at Bacchus is where you’ll find site additions, new projects, and various announcements as things continue unfolding. Some updates already appearing there are releases now complete or entering production:
- How to Bury an Anarchist, Vol. II — Édition Révisée
- Wolfi Landstreicher’s new book, Dancing Into Oblivion: Poetic Explorations of Dying
- French and English editions of Compagnons dangereux; Perspectives historiques et réponses égoïstes contemporaines (Dangerous Companions: Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Egoist Responses)
- Introduction to Madame Simone and the new issue release
- Second and third print runs of the pretty matte black pocket edition of Our Ethic by Renzo Novatore
- A newly released For Life!, Enrico Arrigoni book with fresh translations and previously unpublished writings
This Dionysian Noblogs page will still remain active for occasional updates and redundancy, but the main terrain now lives elsewhere.
Here’s the site: bacchuseditions.net
Maybe see you et your projects there?
Fin, pour l’instant.
