All posts by John Phillip Santos

John Phillip Santos is a writer, journalist, and documentary filmmaker from San Antonio, Texas. His two memoirs, "Places Left Unfinished at the Time of Creation" (a National Book Award Finalist) and "The Farthest Home is in an Empire of Fire," together tell the ancestral stories of his mother and father’s families, an American origin story of the centuries-long migrations that emerged out of Spain, Mexico, and the lands that became South Texas. His book of poems is "Songs Older Than Any Known Singer."
