Bacchus Editions Private Press— Notre Petite Maison d’Édition
With this new incarnation, Distinctively Dionysian now lives under Bacchus Editions, our revived private press — now outfitted with a growing collection of vintage print and binding machines. Bacchus is our little atelier, a press of our own because we prefer to shape every part of what we create — following our own desires, learning as we go, and finding joy in every step, from first word to final page.
If you’re new here, Bacchus Editions is for the extravagants — writers, artists, and thinkers whose work doesn’t fit anywhere polite… the ones who live and create too richly, too fiercely. It’s also a home for the annulés — the so-called “canceled,” whose only crime was refusing to kneel.
Bacchus Editions is also getting its own maison en ligne, a proper digital home. Here, you will be able to find Distinctively Dionysian…
The site (launching mid-spring) will make it easier to browse everything we create — translations, zines, journals that don’t always make it onto this page, plus a little area for updates on translations, and, bien sûr, a shop for things. Think of it as part library, part print archive, part curiosity cabinet — for those who like to linger, to dig, to discover.
One of the first treasures you’ll find there is my most ambitious translation project yet — enormous tomes of Alfredo M. Bonanno’s works, including several never before published. Feral, insurrectionary, sans compromis — pure Bonanno. I can’t wait to finally share it with you.
There’s much more to come, but for now, I have bindings to sew and packages to send off to my Dionysians. À bientôt.
Yours,
Egoistically, of course.
