SONJA YELICH was born in Auckland in 1965. She is a first generation New Zealander and lives with her partner and four children in Devonport, Auckland. Her work was published in 2002 by Auckland University Press in the AUP New Poets 2 series which includes the writing of three emerging NZ poets.
Yelich comments: ‘While the ideas in “and-yellow” are true, well sort of, they didn’t actually happen in that order. In fact, they are bits of ideas taken from different days and put together to give a kind of “one take” sort of impression. I like doing that type of writing probably because I do that sort of thinking – here and here and then there. And that’s probably got something to do with the fact that I’ve got four small kids who get around like loose bees – and into the poems.’
