Interview with Zach Bogner

1. Why did you start writing? I had to wear an air mask that made so much noise, I couldn’t watch TV. My parents gave me books to read, so I leaned to read and write. Also, my mom is an English teacher

2. What is your favorite thing you’ve read? Harry Potter! His Dark Materials Trilogy The Book Thief Gone with the Wind The Millennium Trilogy Poetry

3. How does your mood affect your writing? When I’m in a really good mood and want to party, I can’t write. In most other moods, I can write. When I’m angry, I like to write sh*t about my ex girlfriend.

4. What kind of music do you listen to? Illegally downloaded stuff, alternative, but some pop. Favorite band or singer? I don’t have one, I like a lot of things. Favorite song? Not really, depends on my mood.

5. What’s your favorite movie? Inception TiMER The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

6. What’s your favorite thing to write? Either poetry or fiction, depending on my mood.

7. What is your favorite thing you’ve ever written? A short poem, untitled. I don’t know where it is. It's about when me and my ex-girlfriend broke up.

8. Why did you pick your track? I’m bad at fiction and I hate playwriting.

9. What’s your favorite form of art? I can’t pick a favorite, I’m probably best at writing. I’d probably say film, because you can show so much.

10. What is your best inspiration? My ex-girlfriend. I like to write about how annoying dating her was.

Hot Wheels

Little wheels on wood say squeak squeak with tires of rubber and a body of silver. Metallic cold surprises my finger as I touch the maroon doors. It carries old love while it rolls away. I see no rear view in there and the side mirrors have no reflection, just a block of plastic.
