I just got some exciting news! My chapbook, “Fratricide,” has been sent to print, and the publisher is holding a pre-order sale ($1.00 off the regular price). Check it out on the BLOOM Literary Journal website, and order your copy in advance!
“Fratricide” was the winner of the 2012 BLOOM Chapbook Contest for Fiction.
“‘Fratricide’ employs its fractured narration for an evident and deeply emotional reason: in the frantic search for self, the story asks, where do we turn? That the story’s protagonist looks outward at a global symbol of division only deepens the wound of how family defines us—and how valuable metaphor can be in understanding where we end up, divided or together.” —Manuel Muñoz, 2012 fiction judge
Finally, a special shout-out to Christin Verkaik for creating such amazing cover art!
Congratulations Alexis!! This is great news, and I look forward to reading your book!! Celebrate yourself!!
