Mini-interview with Dominik Slusarczyk
HFR: Can you share a moment that has shaped you as a writer (or continues to)?
DS: Early on in my writing career I wrote a poem called “Grey Fish Sea.” The poem is strange but beautiful. Every time I write I try to emulate what I did with that poem. Sometimes I come close but most of the time I fall far short.
HFR: What are you reading?
DS: I am currently reading The Dark Tower by Stephen King.
HFR: Can you tell us what prompted “My Life”?
DS: I wanted my paintings to say more so I added text to them.
HFR: What’s next? What are you working on?
DS: I am currently making music and after that I am planning to make some conceptual art.
