About Me

I am Caroline Dijckmeester, I am Dutch / Argentine,  but I dream, think and write poetry in English.  My reporting has been published in the WSJ,  on Times.com, PBS Newshour and the VPRO. I make podcasts and hold In Your Own Words- Sessions.

When writing,  interviewing people or working with clients, I listen to the language used and things left unsaid.   "Words create worlds" wrote Rabbi Abraham Heschel.  I agree. How you say something and where you are speaking from matters. It can bring something new into existence.

Whatever the medium, I like returning to the beginning and to focus on clarifying structure, refining tone, and ensuring the core message remains clear. I have helped conceptualize and create audio tours for ABN AMRO have helped shape podcasts such as Vluchtnummers (BZ, UNHCR), and contributed to multimedia projects for VPRO and PBS NewsHour.
