Work

Gabriel graduated from Princeton University with a Ph.D. in classics.[5][6] Gabriel's scholarly work surveys the intersections of classics and modernist studies. She is concerned with historical materialism, utopia, and aesthetics, and explores this through a series of case studies in the 20th-century interpretation and adaptation of Euripides.[7]

In 2017, Gabriel wrote and published a book titled: Elegy Department Spring / Candy Sonnets 1 through BOAAT Press.[8] She is the recipient of Poetry Project fellowship and the Lambda Literary fellowship.[9]

She is a co-editor of We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics with writer Andrea Abi-Karam, published in 2020 by Nightboat Books.[10][11] Poets featured in the book include Joshua Jennifer Espinoza, Sylvia Rivera, and Leslie Feinberg.[11]
