Lex E Santi

Lex Enrico Santí is a novelist, poet, and essayist based in the Finger Lakes region of New York. His work explores movement, loyalty, and the quiet forces that bind people together—or pull them apart.

He is the author of four books of poetry, a collection of short stories, and a collection of essays on the craft of writing. For nine years, he served as Editor in Chief of Our Stories Literary Journal, where he edited and published six volumes of fiction and nonfiction.

Santí holds an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University and an MSW from Washington University in St. Louis, and is currently completing his Doctorate in Social Work.

He also works as a therapist and serves as a clinical director of a mental health practice in the Finger Lakes.

The Song of the Midnight Rider is his debut novel.
