I Wrote

Alice Bogen

This body of work by Alice Bogen, collated in I Wrote, provides an insight into the soul searching that the author has clearly undergone to produce a mature collection of poems. At times heart wrenching and loaded with angst, at others enquiring and bittersweet, Bogen paints a vivid picture of such universal themes as love, loss, life, death, betrayal and hope with which we can all identify. With a lucid turn of phrase, Bogen encapsulates a range of painful sentiments that are sometimes difficult to put into words, but with such clarity of thought that we can feel her anguish. As someone who is open to the world around her and not afraid to question the meaning behind accepted truths, this work will undoubtedly give the reader a greater depth into their understanding of the mysteries of life, love and relationships.

About the Author

I am a seventeen-year-old student from Hamburg, Germany. I was born there by two Russian immigrants and knew only Russian until I was three years old. I learned German then, and at the age of thirteen I started to speak English fluently. This language inspired me a lot. I used to write in German and Russian, but since I learned English, I realized that that is my language. I started writing these poems at the age of thirteen and finished the last one when I was sixteen.
