Overview
As a childĀ during the height of the Cold War, Steve Healey learns that his father is a spy for the CIA. Beneath the banality of everyday lifeāthe suburbs of Washington, DC; school and play; his parentsā deteriorating marriageāassumed names, parallel lives, and myriad Cold War menaces linger. Drawing from CIA training manuals and pop culture references alike, Healeyās poetry is both intimate and claustrophobic. In these poems, the natural anxiety ofĀ childhood is compounded by the weight of both national and family secrets, and Healey draws deep parallels between the shaky foundations of truth in his past and the paranoia and obfuscation that envelops our nationās present.
