How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler
what isn't to like about this book. it's part memoir part science textbook. there were moments throughout this book that left me breathless. Sabrina Imbler's vulnerability and honesty is beautiful. it's philosophical, thought-provoking, and kind. it explores queer people as shapeshifters, as swarms, as immortal. this is a memoir that i already want to reread and take my time with. revisit single essays and appreciate Imbler's honesty
I still don't feel like I know how to rate/review poetry, but I tried rereading this with a pencil in hand and I think that's something I'll do again.
In general, this is like perfectly tailored to all my interests and it makes some wonderful connections between disparate things, so how can I not love it?

It was an accident that I listened to this during PRIDE month but what a fortunate coincidence! I thought this was a book about sea life and didn’t know it was also an exploration of the author’s gender, sexuality, and race.
As a white, cis, straight person, gaining insight to their POV was fascinating and illuminating and the way that they used the behaviors and characteristics of sea creatures to illustrate similarities in humans and their own experience was just amazing.
I can’t say that I enjoyed every second of this book because sometimes learning about gigantic sea worms or is more gross than anything else but overall I’m really glad that I read this and learned so much about the wonders of the ocean and the experience of a person so different from myself.
