"While there are two extreme dangers in placing an evaluation on the works of home writers," Mr. Goff said,' "the fact that they are home writers, we' want to esteem them too highly, or fail to recognize their merit at all, the, ' people of Utah might well be proud of the . early poetic works." Mr. Goff quoted some of the recent critics of early Utah poetry to tlie effect that much, of the popularity of the poetry was based more on the well known and sterling. character of thfr writers rather than upon their product, judged, impartially upon pure poetic stand: ards rythm, poetic appeal and By reading poetic imagination. excerpts, .from several ..writers, it was shown that the meters and rythms were faulty and broken in most cases and that a message and a moral was attempted somewhere in most every work. Comparison was made to the poetry of the early Pilgrim fathers who came to a new country much the same the Utah pioneers came west, showing that the themes taken by the two- widely separated bands were- much the same. Most of the earlier poetry was written by women, it was pointed out with the exception of some of the earlier hymn writers Chief among the early writers were Sarah E. Carmichael, generally known as ' . - - Lizzie Carmichael whose" "Ode on the reath of Lincoln'? became nationally known and whose California poems are very much sought after today. Eliza R. Snow, while the most well known and popular of all, was placed next ' Mr. Goff s paper, which he prepared after much research some time ago, only toek the early period up to 1880 and a hope was expressed by him and by Prof Harrison R.
