"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 |

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.”

Beyond Defnition: New Writing from Gay & Lesbian San Francisco
Co-edited with
Marci Blackman
(Manic D
Press, 1994)
|
|
"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."
-Susie Bright
"Filled with loss, grief, and
the spirit to endure, this is a welcome addition to gay and
lesbian literature."
-Whitney Scott, Booklist

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."
