Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity

Alexis's co-edited volume, Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Frontlines, PM Press 2026, has shifted the conversation on mothering, parenting, and queer transformation.

Alexis has transformed the scope of intellectual, creative, and ocular writing with her triptych of experimental works published by Duke University Press, Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity in 2016, M Archive: After the End of the World in 2018, and Dub: Finding Ceremony in 2020.

Unlike most academic texts, Alexis's work has inspired artists across the f- across form to create dance works, installation work, paintings, processionals, divination practices, operas, quilts, and more.

Alexis was the 2020-2021 National Humanities Center Fellow, funded by the Founders Award, and is the 2022 National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellow.
