There have been down through history thousands of influential Mormon poets that wrote about their true heart felt feelings. They mastered this by incorporating their ideas into some of the various LDS poetry people can read or reflect on in modern times. Many of these classic female poets still draw attention from businessmen, students, adults, and parents. Much of the poems' themes are basic everyday things that almost all people can still relate to.
Around 1850 Sarah Carmichael traveled to the salt lake valley with her family and a few close friends. Her talent grew even though the school system there would be considered poor by today's standard. The salt lake paper published over 50 of her poems from 1850 to 1860. Her broad appeal was from her ability to incorporate ideas like friendship, love and personal integrity in simple down to earth ways.
In 1866 her family and friends helped to publish a small run leather bound printing of 26 of her poems. Shortly after that she married an army surgeon. Sadly after her marriage she suffered a drastic decline in her mental state leading to dementia. She passed in 1901 peacefully in her sleep and is best known for her poem April Flowers.
In 1841 a niece of Joseph Smith was born on March 10th. Her parents named her Josephine Donna Smith, though she would later change her name to Ina Coolbrith. She went to California in 1852 and published some of her first poems two years later in the Los Angeles Times. At 17 she was briefly wed and lost a child.
Around the 1860's she decided to move to the San Francisco area where she got a job as a journalist for the Overland Monthly. She later became a librarian for several notable libraries including the Oakland public library. She passed in 1928 while sharing a home with her niece. Her simple lyric poems were praised by many famous authors of the time including her close friend Mark Twain.
Born October 9th 1844, Augusta Joyce Crocheron was born into the Mormon faith. When she was two years old her parents sold everything they had and sailed from New York to California with Samuel Brannan. It took roughly 6 months for them to get to San Francisco. After arriving they found the living conditions to be almost unbearable because of the war with Mexico.
The gold rush during 1949 brought some people prosperity and ultimately ruined her parents' marriage. In late 1868 her mother married again and moved to Utah. Augusta married and became a second wife of George Cocheron until she passed in 1915. Drawing mostly on her traumatic early life and various hardships she overcame. Most of her poems are centered around hope and the idea that everyone has a purpose.
Historical female literary figures often get overlooked or are over shadowed by whatever is the flavor of the day. Because of the many hardships they experienced LDS poetry is blessed with many female authors. While they are gone they are not forgotten, you have only to go down to your local library to find any number of books about them.
