As a queer, mixed race writer working in a largely white, male-dominated field, science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in this debut collection profiles one such creature. 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, Imbler invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live.
