Nicole Kidwell


Washington, D.C.
About

If you asked her to describe herself in a few words she would tell you she is the (not always so) strong but silent type who wants her words to make all the noise. This 33-year-old poetess from Washington DC draws her inspiration from life and all that is around her; be it her own personal experiences, the things she sees or in the conversations she's had. She has an ability to almost absorb situations and all of their emotions and pen them as if they were her own; which is unique in its own right.

She was started on her writing journey at the age of 14, in 1999 when she was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. She came home after months of being in and out of the hospital wanting to document her entire experience; so she wrote, an 11-page story/journal entry in about 2 hours. Noticing how easily this came to her she kept it up, journaling daily. It wasn't until high-school (10th grad, 2001) where she discovered her talent in poetry. A writing assignment, calling for a free-verse pie
