Invisible Ink

By Jennifer Schneider

In spaces where ideas simultaneously crystallize, connect, and unravel in random ways, Invisible Ink by Jen Schneider explores everyday moments through multiple perspectives and experimental forms.

As unanswered messages proliferate and solutions dissipate like invisible ink, the collection entertains and embraces the intersection of randomness and regularity in spontaneous snippets of time.

"Invisible Ink is a kaleidoscopic romp through contemporary life in all its broken beauty... It’s a wild ride and always worth it." - J.G. McClure, author of The Fire Lit & Nearing
