Distinctively Dionysian is the only contemporary journal devoted exclusively to egoist and individualist thought, authored by an egoist-individualist herself. Select issues include contributions from kindred spirits with whom we share deep affinity, but every page is a precise curation of intent and defiance. Published primarily in English and French, with special editions available in Italian, Spanish, and German.
