ABOUT THE ARTIST
Yvonne Hollenbeck
Winner, SD
Yvonne Hollenbeck is a South Dakota cattleman’s wife who writes poetry about her life on a beautiful, remote ranch where she has spent years putting up hay, feeding a crew, doing bookwork, or working cattle. Although her poetry is often humorous about situations that were not humorous when they happened, her writing also takes a serious side when she reflects upon the hardships experienced by her parents and forebears. Yvonne is also a freelance writer who pens a weekly column in multiple rural newspapers, an avid traditional quilter, and a popular entertainer at various rural events throughout ranch country.
