Borealis

Aisha Sabatini Sloan
4.01/5 (347 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
An intimate essay on the art of Alaskan glaciers, memory, loneliness, and blackness in wild spaces.

In Borealis, Aisha Sabatini Sloan writes about a solitary summer visit to Alaska, observing glaciers, shorelines, mountains, bald eagles, and herself. As she studies her surroundings, the myth of Alaska—excitement, exploration, possibility—is complicated by boredom and isolation, and her attempts to set down place in writing are suffused with nostalgia and anxiety. The first title commissioned for the Spatial Species series, Borealis is a shapeshifting logbook of Sabatini Sloan’s experiences as a queer woman contemplating her Blackness in the wilderness and in the mysteries of art-making.
