Noelle Hendrickson is a poet proudly based in Salt Lake City. She is an alumni of Utah Valley University's creative writing program and former Editor-in-Chief of the university journal Touchstones. She has studied at the New York State Summer Writers Institute in Saratoga Springs, NY, and Westminster University in Salt Lake City, both via full scholarship. Her poetry can be found in both national and international journals, such as Whale Road Review, Permafrost, Arkana, and Pinch.
Noelle was a featured writer for the 2024 and 2025 Utah Humanities Book Festivals. She has participated in various literary projects centering writers from the Mountain West, including the 2026 anthology This Watershed Moment: Envisioning Place-Based Futures and the Rock Canyon Poets anthology Orogeny: Special 10th Anniversary Edition.
In her free time, Noelle consumes media featuring sad modern women (Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan, My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, Sylvia Plath's work, the show Fleabag, you get the idea), visits coffee shops with her partner, and goes on walks with her very loud dog.
