PASSING

"Healy is at the top of her form in this book. Check out 'Louganis,' a beautiful sestina about beauty and HIV. You'd say the woman is all heart, except that her 'craft' is so good. The poet's elegies are filled with joy's memory and power, her lust insists on the rights and rites of the body — and her anger is aflame" — Alicia Ostriker. Los Angeles-based Eloise Klein Healy is the author of five books of poetry including Building Some Changes, A Packet Beating Like a Heart, Ordinary Wisdom, and Artemis In Echo Park, which was nominated for the Lambda Book Award and released as a spoken word recording by New Alliance Records.
