Kadiri was raised in Puerto Rico. She has lived most of her life between the U.S. and the island. Her sense of not being "ni de aquí ni de allá" led her to poetry early on. Kadiri has always tried to find ways to make the creative and academic realms one. She received a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Puerto Rico, an MFA in Creative Writing in Spanish from NYU, and a Ph.D. in Spanish with a minor in Portuguese from Vanderbilt University.
