Have you given lectures or presentations based on the life of Ina Coolbrith? If so, are any available to watch on line? If so, did you talk about her or actually portray her? I'm working on a presentation to be given in San Diego on what was "Ina Coolbrith Day" back in 1915.

Ina Coolbrith played such a vital role in the literary history of the American West and few people know anything about her. Feel free to contact me via inacoolbrith.com. I'd be happy to talk with you.

Best wishes, Aleta(less)

I was looking for information about the actor/theater owner who had gathered eggs from the island to finance his theater. I found what I was looking for regarding the actor, but I also met Coolbrith. My interest turned into an obsession that lasted ten years. Now my new biography about California's first poet laureate is out!(less)
