Dislocate #1 (2005). 117 pages. $7.
A lit annual out of the University of Minnesota. The first issue starts off strong with two poems by Elizabeth Willis: short, sharp, dead-on prose. The last piece from a section entitled "Writing Notes" (which I hope is a permanent feature) offers glimpses into Anna Cypra Oliver's attempts to promote her first book, Assembling My Father. Allison Reed Miller and N. Katherine Hayles' essay on Complexity Theory seems geared more towards an undergraduate survey audience, but offering space to lit crit in a relatively slim volume shows that Dislocate is trying to offer more than the usual CW program annual. The interview with Pulitzer Prize winner Edward P. Jones asks a few off-kilter questions ("Can you tell me about your stamp collection?") that prove to be fodder for an entertaining read.
