Happy Anniversary, Ina Coolbrith!
San Francisco Public Library
Jun 25, 06:00PM – 07:30PM
One hundred years ago, Ina Coolbrith was crowned California’s first poet laureate at the Exposition Auditorium (now the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Aleta George, author of Ina Coolbrith: The Bittersweet Song of California’s First Poet Laureate, will speak about Coolbrith as poet, librarian, and the most popular literary ambassador in the early American West.
