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.
