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 |

"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."
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."

"Sweet, sad, gritty,
real. Healey delivers coming out as apocalypse—tender,
destructive, punk."
Michelle Tea, author of Valencia, Rose of No Man's Land
and The Chelsea Whistle
|
|
"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."
Felice Picano, author of Like People in History, The
Book of Lies, Onyx and The Lure |
|

|
|
"Trebor Healey
understands the beauty and cruelty that spill forth when men
dare to express love to one another."
K.M. Soehnlein, author of The World of Normal Boys
and You Can Say You Knew Me When |
|
|
|
|
"The
writing is beautiful and poetic, especially in describing a couple of
trips to the Tuolumne Meadows backcountry, and dialog with a Tibetan
Buddhist adds to the intellectual level of the novel."
Robert Hodges, Orange County Blade

LOVE HURTS,
LOVE HEALS—that’s the crystalline message at the core of
Trebor Healey’s complex, accomplished coming-of-age story
... it shimmers with the compelling honesty of real lives,
while HEALEY’S REFRESHINGLY ORIGINAL TALE HUMS WITH THE
POTENCY OF POETRY.”
