About

Lexie Angelo is a writer, researcher, and visual artist specializing in liminal geographies, setting, and literary places. She is interested in the Canadian Gothic, post-colonial literature, monstrosity, and liminal sites, as well as exploring new creative techniques and methods to evoke 'place' in art.

Her academic and critical scholarship is grounded in storytelling that explores identity, place, and social transformation. She builds on place-oriented experiential techniques to create emotional engagement with liminal places such as highways, borders, and natural wonders.

In crime writing, her writing method involves significant research, and each novel centres on a theme driven by both the setting and the antagonist, as her work explores how setting and criminality are interconnected. Her intention is to usher the crime genre into an anti-racist age, and lean into systemic issues such as police inaction and police brutality in Canada.

Alongside her creative practice, she works collaboratively with athletes, organizations, academic and cultural institutions to activate storytelling, connect with audiences through narratives, and infuse cities with artistic place-making.
