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.

    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.

    briangebhart.jpgBrian Gebhart, like all the best superheroes, has multiple identities (please note: this is not the same as multiple personalities). He's a writer! He's an MFA student at the University of Minnesota! He's a molder of young minds (please note: I hear he has a student fan club)! He's a loving husband! He's great at trivia! He's from Oklahoma! He has a fluffy cat!

  • Is a touch-screen phone right for you?
    Dislocate Literary Journal

    When you poke stuff with your finger, it usually reacts. If you poke a dog, it will look at you. If you poke a mound of dirt, it will turn into a mound of dirt with a finger-shaped hole poked in it.

  • Texting, dislocated
    Dislocate Literary Journal

    I have a love/hate relationship with the text message. It's an interesting technology: it can contact several people at once, can leave reminders/dates/direction, can anticipate the word I'm most likely to write.
