Timeless, Infinite Light is Oakland-based small press that publishes contemporary writing with a tendency toward the experimental, radical, and mystical. We are committed to promoting critical poetic work by emerging and established writers, and we prioritize authors whose identities are often excluded from the literary mainstream. We believe in the radical potential of collaborative, hybrid, and embodied writing, and promote work that resists structures of oppression, both in form and content. This preference for challenging work extends to the design and structure of the books we produce.

Emji Spero is an Oakland-­based artist exploring the intersections of writing, book art, installation and performance. They are a co-founder of Timeless, Infinite Light, Material Print Machine, and Omni Commons. Their book, almost any shit will do, uses found language, word-replacement and erasure to strange the familiar and and map the boundaries of collective engagement. Spero is currently working on Exhaustion, a dry lyric essay that documents the affective weight of accumulated subthreshold violences.

Joel Gregory is a poet and visual artist living in Oakland, California. He is a dropout of the Evergreen State College and the New School. He is a co­founder at Timeless, Infinite Light. His poetry can be found in Boog City, 580 Split, and Open House, and his visual art can be found on Instagram @niteselfie. He is currently working on Connection, a voyeristic book-length manuscript, in which he collages language from Craigslist missed connections into poems and reposts them in search of the absent object of desire.

Félix Solano Vargas is a writer and visual artist. He has a background in community organizing and convening. Félix was born and raised in Riverside, CA; digs performance art and punk rock. Félix earned a B.A. in English from the University of California Riverside in 2011, and is currently in his first year of graduate study coursework in the Gender and Women's Studies program at the University of Arizona. His chapbook Crunchy Eggs (2014) was published through Econo Textual Objects, an experimentation within economic means for writers pursuing aesthetic adventures grounded in working class realities.

Crunchy Eggs is a series of poems, micro-fiction and prose about growing up in a Chicano Jehovah's Witness household, family, queer trauma and survival. This work is also place based, about the Inland Empire and brown trans* temporality.
