“A heady mix of 4th century gnosticism, black lives matter, the tower in the world of the tarot, & a pre-sentiment of coming into the 20th anniversary of 9/11.”
Edited & curated by juliana Lutz

is a body of work including poetry, drawings, photography, video, and other mediums. Created by a group of poets and artists belonging to the community of Invisible College and beyond. DEAD TIME is inspired by geological time, Pangea, relative fossil dating, and cryptozoology; time, space, creation, and destruction are all concepts up for reevaluation here. Sometimes irreverent other times deeply personal,these works seek to understand and communicate what matters and why.

READING RILKE’S DUINO ELEGIES ONE AT A TIME, IN STEPHEN SPENDER’S TRANSLATION. THE TITLE COMES FROM A SOMEWHAT MEANSPIRITED LINE FROM A POEM BY KENNETH KOCH, AND NAMES MY PLAYFUL APPROACH TO READING ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE, AND MOST PROFOUND, OF THE 20TH CENTURY’S POETS. THE DUINO ELEGIES HAVE BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF MY PEDAGOGY SINCE 2012: TO READ THEM CLOSELY IS AN INITIATORY AND FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS. THESE ARE POEMS THAT CAUSE LIFE AND DEATH TO FACE ONE ANOTHER—THEY SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE START OF THE COVID ERA. RILKING IS WHERE INVISIBLE COLLEGE BEGAN.
