Career

Clung (Auckland University Press, 2004), her debut book of poems, earned the 2005 NZSA Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry. ‘Clung verifies Yelich’s enormous talent,’ comments the Bay of Plenty Times. Her writings praise the world of small things while also connecting them to the greater world.’

‘Subversion is in her character, from her slightly skew-whiff take on English (her heritage is Dalmatian) to an anarchic propensity to play with new technology like toys (for which, one believes, she also praises her lateral-thinking children),’ says David Eggleton in the New Zealand Listener.

Her poems have appeared in a variety of print and online magazines, including the e-zines Turbine, Trout, and Snorkel, and in Best New Zealand Poems 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2008. Elizabeth Smither judged the National Radio Montana Poetry Day competition in 2003, and one of her poems won. In the book and CD set New New Zealand Poets in Performance, she was also featured (AUP, July 2008).

Get some (AUP, 2008), Yelich’s second volume of poetry was a finalist in the Montana New Zealand Book Awards. get some follows an American soldier named Edgar who is stationed in Iraq and his family’s reactions to his ‘doody’ tour.

From The Sopranos to Black Hawk Down, YouTube to SUVs, Sonja Yelich brilliantly contrasts his existence with that of his family and gives up a tornado of opinions on the war and contemporary American society. As the horror of war intensifies – a marine loses a leg, and a plane ‘breaks its nose on / Poor visibility in summer,’ the story of Edgar and his family begins to fracture. Because of the turmoil of battle, Yelich leaves the reader speculating about Edgar’s fate.

Achievements

Sonja Yelich was one of two people who received Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellowships in 2010. She’s used the time to concentrate on a novel and a new collection of poetry.
