"Trebor Healey's first novel Through It Came Bright Colors escapes the cliched boxes of the coming-out novel. It successfully avoids kitsch, while presenting a gay rite of passage with a fine fusion of tenderness and toughness." (read entire review)  --Gay Today

"Rich in detailed description and philosophical reflection, Through It Came Bright Colors reveals human truths subtly yet effectively. Trebor Healey's tone and tempo keeps readers engaged in the story and emotionally invested in the characters. The sensitive handling of such issues as spirituality, abuse and disease is a credit to the author, as is the unflinching honesty of this life-affirming fiction."             --EXP Magazine

"... a keen sense for dialogue, crafting emotional nuances with lean and unsparing words as sharp as a knife cutting into your soul."
--RFD
"Healey imbues his prose with the juiciness of poetry without breaking the speed of great storytelling. Through It Came Bright Colors is a lovely fucked up fable for the modern gay." (read entire review)    --Portland Mercury

Poetry collection, Sweet Son of Pan (Suspect Thoughts Press, June 2006)

 

"Now and then, however, readers are treated to something new, exciting and truly raw. Such is the case with Trebor Healey's collection of erotic poems...every poem has at least one line that brings a chill, a thrill or a pang of longing."

"sensual, seductive and more than a trifle subversive...the healing power of sexual communion remains the one true constant of this scintillating text."
