Current Issue

We publish our print issue once a year, usually in May. Submissions to the print issue are currently closed; they'll open up again in July.

We are currently making our final selections for dislocate #6. Keep checking back for updates on the issue #6 release and launch party.

Latest Issue: dislocate #5

dislocate #5: Transitions is our first themed issue. dislocate is always looking for work that pushes the traditional boundaries of form, but for this issue we paid special attention to authors who were working in the gray areas between different genres, places, and stages of life. Our flash fiction contest honors writers who are working along the border of poetry and fiction; Kevin Wilson contributes a story about a man who finds himself slowly phased out of his comfortable married life; and women from the Grace House transitional home offer short prose responses to Jacob Lawrence's Great Migration series of paintings.

    You could argue that Addison and Steele and Samuel Johnson were ur-bloggers. After all, the first magazines--The Rambler, The Spectator--were not magazines in the modern sense. Rather, they were short personal essays published a couple of times a week by guys who spent too much time in coffee houses.

  • Mapping the Unseen: An Interview with Adriane Colburn
    Dislocate Literary Journal

    by J. Lee Morsell

    Colburn_ArcticSuns-cap.jpgSan-Francisco-based artist Adriane Colburn is working on a series of installations and maps that seek to organize and chart changes in the natural and urban landscape. She recently attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in the wake of research trips to the Arctic and the Amazon.

    Colburn seeks through her artwork to visualize the unseen, to depict frontiers of geography, politics and history--to reveal. "Apocalypse" is Greek for "revelation," or "unveiling." Upon meeting her in California this January, I mentioned that her work qualifies as apocalyptic, which led to the following conversation.

    Welcome to the new dislocate online!

    We've been hearing it for years: the publishing world is undergoing significant changes, and literature as we know it--both its material form and its content--will never be the same. This news is both exhilarating and slightly terrifying to most literary-minded folks, us included.

  • dislocate Reading with Michael Dennis Browne
    Dislocate Literary Journal

    When even the Minnesota winter stops in it's tracks, yielding a fine week of warm, sunny weather, you know something big is happening. Michael Dennis Browne, poet and teacher extraordinaire, is retiring after 38 years at the University of Minnesota. In honor of Browne's long service at the University, dislocate is hosting a reading this Wednesday, November 11th, at 7 pm in 150 Lind Hall on the University of Minnesota East Bank. Browne will read from his poetry, alongside MFA candidates Colleen McCarthy (poetry), Josh Morsell (nonfiction), and Swati Avasthi (fiction). Books will be for sale, and refreshments, (good ones, I hear) will be served.
