by Mary McDunn

My love for northern Minnesota began many years ago. When I was a young girl, many summer vacations included a 2-3 week family camping trip to the BWCA (Boundary Water Canoe Area). Getting ready was a big part of the process; we had to pack absolutely everything that we might need. (more…)

A quick glance at Sam Roloff’s life suggests an adventure as varied and as colorful as the canvases he has created.

Nixon was great
I recently discovered something that all American citizens need to hear and fully understand. Richard Nixon was great. Definitions are important and so I will say that you must agree to this caveat. Great people, according to me, can swear well (professional swearers are in my book “great”). (more…)

Sent to take dictation from God: Writer Obits

On April 11th, my hero died.

Kurt Vonnegut’s words made me want to be a writer with all my heart. His ease and candor on the page assured me that it might not actually be completely impossible to be one. He was my Shakespeare. His death marks the passage of a truly great American thinker and essence. I was always so happy just knowing he was alive. (more…)

Double Dare Press - Winter 2007

Editor — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:47:46 +0000

Welcome to the new face of Double Dare Press, an online literary ezine.

We started the magazine in 2000 as a monthly. In 2002, the magazine became a quarterly. In celebration of our seven-year itch, we have a new layout and design. The intent is to become industry standard, and this new layout will allow readers to read and react to the issue immediately.

Our original intention was to connect artists and thinkers around the planet. This interactive design will facilitate that larger conversation we want to participate in regarding the state of art making in the world.

We hope to be a place where artists are encouraged and supported, and to that end, we hope that any criticism be the type that seeks to nurture and not destroy.
