An Evening with Sabrina Imbler
Date: Tuesday, Oct 24, 2023
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Martin & Edwidge Woldson Recital Hall, Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center
Sabrina Imbler is a writer and science journalist living in Brooklyn. Their first chapbook, Dyke (geology) was published by Black Lawrence Press, and they have received numerous fellowships and scholarships in the US, including from the Asian American Writers' Workshop and Tin House. They are the recipient of the Evert Clark/Seth Payne Award for young science journalists, and their essays and reporting have appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Catapult, and Sierra, among other publications. Their latest publication is the essay collection, How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures, published by Little Brown and Company. They have always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in the collection profiles one such creature. Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family, community, and care can be found in the sea. Exploring themes of adaptation, survival, sexuality, and care, and weaving the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family, relationships, and coming of age, How Far the Light Reaches is a book that invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live.
