Everything Is True At Once
Poetry | Soft cover | 69 pages
Bart Galle’s collection of poems and paintings, written after losing his son to a drug overdose and then his father six months later, chronicles a man’s journey through grief.
Bart Galle, the 2008 Passager Poet, lives with his wife in St. Paul, MN. Bart on writing Everything Is True at Once: “I didn’t pursue writing until my father and my youngest son Alex died within six months of each other. In the grief group my wife and I attended, we learned so much . . . most importantly, that you have to follow what seems right to you. Some people scatter ashes, others hold on to them. Some clean out rooms, others never do. I needed to write, to find words that would give some structure and meaning to my overwhelming feelings. It was hard.”
“The unadorned voice here is as real as a sun-soaked stone in hand– eternal, life-giving, transitory. These are stunningly moving poems.”
