Grace Noll Crowell

Grace Noll Crowell was an American poet, author ofbooks of inspirational verse and 5,000 poems. Her work has appeared in hundreds of magazines and newspapers.

Crowell was born in Inland Township in Cedar County, Iowa, to Adam and Sarah Noll. She was educated at the GermanEnglish college in Wilton, Iowa. Crowell first attempted writing poetry at the age of 8, but in a rare instance of nonsupport by her otherwise loving family, found her efforts laughed at as an infantile effort. She stated, I never tried to write after that until love and romance and a home came to me. That quickened and awakened the desire to write poetry again. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in 1901, that love came to her when she married Norman H. Crowell, also a writer. They had three sons Norman Crowell died in 1953.
