FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A
poignant and poetic saga of personal and familial crisis, and the unexpected
ways we find redemption.
“Trebor Healey's compelling
tale of crisis around a family illness and an unexpected first gay love is
poetic and reflective, angry, rowdy, funny and triumphant. Through It Came
Bright Colors depicts two very different, intertwined love stories, very
nearly sacred and profane. A well-known poet, Healey's passionate, lyrical and
muscular fictional debut is filled with characters and story.”
—Felice
Picano, author of Like People in History and Onyx He
holds up a magnifying glass to the human heart, and his gaze is
unblinking.” —K.M.
Soehnlein, author of The World of Normal Boys (2000 Lambda
Literary Award winner) ”Sweet, sad, gritty, real. Healey delivers coming out as apocalypse—tender, destructive, punk.” —Michelle Tea, author of Valencia (2000 Lambda Award Winner) and The Chelsea Whistle
”Love hurts, love heals - that's the crystalline
message at the core of Trebor Healey's complex, accomplished coming-of-age
story about a cautiously-queer suburban kid whose heart is unexpectedly
squeezed hard by a young junkie's quicksilver mind and beautiful lean body.
Healey's refreshingly original tale hums with the potency of poetry.” —Richard
Labonte, Book Marks, Q Syndicate * Through It Came Bright Colors
A bittersweet story of love, loss, and the search for honesty.
In Trebor Healey’s poetic literary debut, Through It Came Bright Colors,
21-year-old Neill Cullane's world suddenly implodes when his younger brother is
diagnosed with cancer. As his family scrambles to deal with and make sense of
the tragedy, Neill precariously clings to his role as brother and caretaker,
even as the issues that his brother's illness has brought to the surface
threaten to overwhelm him. But it isn't until he meets the enigmatic Vince
Malone, himself a cancer patient, that Neill begins to finally face up to the
urgency in his own life. Events conspire to bring the two young men together as
Neill comes to realize that his brother's physical vulnerability has awakened
him to his own physicality and sexuality. About the Author
