"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

"This brilliantly edited
collection that spans the range of lesbian and gay
experience is the quintessence of queer San Francisco
writing. The voices here are among the strongest that one
could find, and that strength comes from the power of raw
truth."
-Phyllis Burke
"Beyond Definition is an entire
volume dedicated to stories of sexual identity that weren't
visible or understood before, let alone appreciated."

Praise for Sweet Son of Pan
"As for Master Trebor, he is a ring-bearer, a torch carrier, the
legitimate bastard son of an endless line of bastard sons howling in
the wilderness--dating back through Lorca, Cavafy, Whitman, to
Catullus, Strato and beyond. For as long as man is commanded to roam
these sacred woods, somewhere, from some lone hilltop, licentious
yet austere, this voice will ever be heard to howl. And Trebor is
just this wolf. Hear his voice and tremble."
—Gavin Geoffrey Dillard,
author of The Naked Poet
"... 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."
Will Louis,
XFactor Magazine
"sensual, seductive and more
than a trifle subversive...the healing power of sexual
communion remains the one true constant of this
scintillating text."
