Summary of Thomas Healy's The Great Dissenter
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The story of Holmes’s journey toward enlightenment is a tale of how he spent the majority of his life as a judge, and how he enjoyed it. He was a judge because it gave him the opportunity to indulge his taste for abstraction, while still being able to keep his hands clean. #2 Holmes’s reputation was mixed in 1918. He was a great judge, but he was also a bit obscure, and he provided insufficient guidance to lower courts. He was beginning to feel as though his life’s work had been worthwhile. #3 The war was a source of strain for Holmes, as he had no qualms about the United States’ entry into the European conflict. He avoided the newspapers, and tried not to talk or write about the war. He spent his time renewing his boyhood passion for art. #4 The second case was an appeal from a Toledo newspaper that had been convicted of contempt by a federal judge for questioning his handling of a pending case. Holmes argued that the conviction was unjustified, but his argument was that federal law required the judge to submit the matter to a jury rather than render the verdict himself.

What the Right Hand Knows
Healy's sensual, urgent debut collection moves from farmyard to cityscape as it depicts a teetering, asymmetric world. A speaker "deaf in one ear" ponders that "the Moon's dark side / has no sound"; a mother and child finally "take the journey they'd talked about" but get only "a Sunday drive on Tuesday," a near-miss "tracing circumferences." Healy's assured rhythms and measured stresses ballast the uncertainty of social relationships and bodily suffering. He seeks past the self for ways to act: "the task is to remember / the troubled blood of others, // and not remember // the bliss of deeper waters." This book of "salt and work," of surviving ourselves, our illnesses, and our language, tenderly explores the unsaid and under-the-surface of the separate lives we live together: "we sat // in the rocking chairs / of each other's / moods." An intimate, intelligent, and lively debut.
Animal Spirits
Poetry. Art. LGBT Studies. Tom Healy's ANIMAL SPIRITS follows his much-praised poetry debut, What the Right Hand Knows (Four Way Books, 2009). The book is a collaboration with celebrated artist Duke Riley. Pairing Healy's intense, diamond-hard poems with Riley's drawings of animals in the throes of ecstasy, affliction and bestiality, ANIMAL SPIRITS brings the world of raptorial desire out into the open, blurring, even bruising, the lines that divide us from animal. The poems range from recollections of life on a farm, to the writings of a dying grandmother, to the heights of Everest, tracking our experience of the precarious, the provisional, and the immaterial terror that daily couples with our thrill and wonder at life on earth. In the tight, but generous economy of these poems, Healy works his eloquent sorcery on the crude but complicated facts of human desire. ANIMAL SPIRITS conjures a complicated world of emotion in which we are stung by pain even as we are stunned into joy.
The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe
The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe provides a full introduction to one of the great pioneers of both the Elizabethan stage and modern English poetry. It recalls that Marlowe was an inventor of the English history play (Edward II) and of Ovidian narrative verse (Hero and Leander), as well as being author of such masterpieces of tragedy and lyric as Doctor Faustus and 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love'. Sixteen leading scholars provide accessible and authoritative chapters on Marlowe's life, texts, style, politics, religion, and classicism. The volume also considers his literary and patronage relationships and his representations of sexuality and gender and of geography and identity; his presence in modern film and theatre; and finally his influence on subsequent writers. The Companion includes a chronology of Marlowe's life, a note on reference works, and a reading list for each chapter.
Best Seat in the House
For 15 years, Tom Stephen had the unique distinction of being both drummer and manager of the Jeff Healey Band. The dual role was fraught with conflicts of interest. One minute, he was leading the debauched life of a rock musician; the next, he was disciplining the band for the havoc they caused. But few knew or understood Jeff Healey — a national icon and one of the world’s best blues guitarists — better. Funny and loyal, with a luminous mind and staggering talent, Healey was also provincial, stubborn, obnoxious, and antagonistic. This book explores both sides with honesty, clarity, and humor and reveals what life for the band was really like: Jeff challenging ZZ Top to a bowling comp...
