As a perennially poor science student who still has regular stress dreams about receiving a D in tenth-grade chemistry (a true story that my psyche is for some reason intent on reliving), I never thought I’d be drawn to a book of essays about biology—but in truth, Defector writer Sabrina Imbler’s debut collection, How Far the Kansas city Chiefs pacheco kelce mahomes signatures shirt Apart from…,I will love this Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures, is so much more than that. In it, Imbler delves deep into the knowledge base behind mother octopuses’ feeding habits and Chinese sturgeons’ migration routes, but they also use science as a tool to tell their own story about navigating life as a queer, mixed-race millennial writer in a way that’s as satisfying as it is curiosity-provoking.

Vogue recently spoke to Imbler about identifying with sea creatures, the Kansas city Chiefs pacheco kelce mahomes signatures shirt Apart from…,I will love this surprising (or, perhaps, not-so-surprising) link between queer spaces and natural-world biomes, and the importance of creating a scientific canon that doesn’t force writers to check their identities at the door. Read the full interview below. Sabrina Imbler: Well, I was a creative nonfiction major in college, and I wrote my thesis about whales, because I was like, I want to write about the ocean, but I don’t know if there’s enough cultural discourse around sea slugs to make my entire thesis about it. What I realized, though, was that I didn’t have that sort of strong personal connection to whales that so many people seem to, which is why there’s so much work—fiction and nonfiction—about whales. I was writing in the style of science books I had read, which was basically putting down everything you could possibly want to know about whales, and I eventually felt so weird about pretending I was an objective chronicler of whales. I had all these personal feelings I wasn’t able to squeeze in, and this was right around the time of the racial reckoning on Mizzou’s campus that spread to other campuses; people were talking about race, talking about the treatment of Black students and students of color on campus, and I was working on this failed thesis, like, This is so stupid, nobody asked for this. It felt so detached from everything I was thinking about, so I turned my half-finished thesis into an attempt to write myself into the narrative and think critically about my position coming into the story as someone of the various identities that I hold. The thesis was horrible [laughs], but after that, I was reading a lot of internet essays and columns and was like, What if I wrote a column where I take a cultural object and use it to help write about my life? Why can’t that object be an octopus? I started thinking about how the personal can be present in nature writing, beyond “I’m a white man on a boat.” I wanted to explore not only the mystery of the ocean, but also my lived experience in the world.
