Earthling
Reviews

James Tate:
“Steve Healey's dazzling first book of poems, Earthling, will leave you reeling. Poem after poem, bold imagination coupled with intense passion sets this book ablaze. His very unique sense of humor adds to the delight.”

Mary Ruefle:
“These poems are so enlivened they seem to have yeast in them...in every one, the consequences of a single thought or action expand to the ends of the alphabet...they talk right at you as if there were no tomorrow, but in the best of all possible finales, decide that there is.”

Stephen Malkmus:
“I totally recommend this book of poems. Earthling is full art I relate to: earth sensations and weird brain jumps. The key (for me) is sincere connection with awareness, and I feel it in this book. From sing to sung, it shreds.”
