Madeline Sonik

Madeline Sonik (born 1960) is a Canadian author.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, of mixed English-Russian parentage, she was educated at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and at the University of British Columbia, where she earned a doctorate for a thesis that explored the application of Jungian principles to the creative writing process. She has taught creative writing courses in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Her publications include a novel, a short story collection, a children's book and a poetry collection. In addition, she has coedited three Canadian anthologies and has won many awards for her nonfiction, including the Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction (2006). Her novel "Arms" was described by "The Globe and Mail" as a "verbal heartache, a bravura performance of language and perverse imagination" [ [http://www.harbourpublishing.com/excerpt/Arms/webonly/204 Review of "Arms"] ] .

Sonik currently resides in Victoria, British Columbia, where she is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Writing at the University of Victoria.
