Talk:Ina Coolbrith

message: Edited "Librarian" section with regard to Joaquin Miller's supposed daughter. It is not known who her parents were, and she was probably called "Calle Shasta" only by the popular press, based on the character found in Miller's book Life Amongst the Modocs.11 Arlington (talk) 06:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Joaquin Miller's half-Indian "daughter"

message: Coolbrith is listed in the "Latter Day Saints" category, but is also listed on the Former Latter-day Saints article... I'm not a fan of list articles in general (I much prefer categories), so I've added her to the "Ex-Mormon" category... But the question is, did Coolbrith leave the LDS church prior to her death? In other words, should she be in the "Latter Day Saints" or "Ex-Mormon" category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Porlob (talk • contribs) 13:14, October 1, 2006

replies: text: There's no evidence Coolbrith took part in Mormon observances or activities. Personally, I think she soured on the religion question by the time she was in her teens, and steered clear of any particular church her whole adult life. Binksternet (talk) 17:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: "Pickett, Agness, and young Josephine, travelled overland to California in 1850. Josephine is said to have been the first white child to enter California, riding on the saddle of Jim Beckwourth. The family settled in Los Angeles."

replies: text: Aside from the Hispanic white person question, Coolbrith was most certainly not the first Anglo-American or non-Hispanic European woman in California. A number of military wives, miner's wives and explorer's wives preceded her. There were Anglo girls, too. An easy example disproving the Coolbrith myth is the Anglo woman Rachel, lover of Thomas O. Larkin, who landed in San Francisco in 1832 and birthed a daughter in Monterey in 1833. Coolbrith came to California a generation later, in 1851. Binksternet (talk) 17:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: First white in California

message: I've seen some sources that say Gertrude Stein was influenced by Coolbrith the librarian, but I am not seeing anything more than circumstantial evidence such as Stein visiting the library at a time when Coolbrith was in charge. Anything more solid? Binksternet (talk) 22:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Gertrude Stein

message: At the article's peer review (Wikipedia:Peer review/Ina Coolbrith/archive1), Finetooth recommended a number of fixes, the great majority which were implemented. Left undone:
*Bibliography locations: I have not added locations to bibliography listings where they are universities of known location or if the location is in the publisher's name as it is for Oakland Public Library. I don't think people need have it made plain that Brigham Young University is in Provo, Utah, or that Stanford University is in Palo Alto, California.
*Modern commentary lacking: I have yet to add a paragraph or two about modern analysis of Coolbrith or the inclusion of Coolbrith's poetry in modern anthologies. Such analysis is rare, to say the least. The closest that the article comes so far are brief indications by other poets laureate—one in the lead section expressed by Carol Muske-Dukes, and one in the Death section where Robert Hass includes a Coolbrith poem in a street installation. I can see that a section analyzing Coolbrith's poetry, with observations taken from all times past and modern, would be useful and appropriate. Binksternet (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
