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 the 1850's Sarah Carmichael moved to the lower salt lake valley with some family and close friends. Her remarkable talent grew despite the poor school system and lack of educational opportunities. The salt lake news paper published more than 50 of her poems from around 1850 to 1860. Her appeal was mostly from the way she incorporated ideas like personal integrity, friendship and love into simple down to earth ideas.
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.
On March 10th, 1841 a niece of LDS leader Joseph Smith was born. Her parents chose to name her Josephine Smith after her maternal grandmother, though later in life she would change it to Ina Coolbrith. She moved to California in 1852 where some of her early poems were published in the local Los Angeles Times paper. At age 17 she was briefly married and lost her child.
By the 1860's she moved to the greater San Francisco area and got a job as a newspaper journalist writing for the Overland Monthly. Later she found work as a librarian for some notable libraries like the Oakland public library. In 1928 she passed on while sharing a house with her younger niece. The simple lyric poems she wrote were universally praised by famous authors of the era including her good 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 literary female figures are often overlooked or are underrated when compared to more contemporary poets. Because of the various hardships many experienced, LDS poetry is blessed to have many different female authors. They may be old though never forgotten, and can be found at any local library.
