in a close look at one of the bay area's literary pioneers, she gained fame as california's first poet laureate. tonight, ktvu jana katsuyama shows us how ina coolbrith broke with many conventions of her time and how she celebrated today. >> just past the mason street cable car line, halfway up san francisco's russian hill is a park where occasional tourists and neighborhood dog walkers take in the spectacular views. the park bears the name of a

once famous san francisco woman who many people now don't know. okay, that is. >> no, i have no idea. please, ina coolbrith. no idea. >> ina coolbrith was a literary legend in her day. a poet whose life reads like an epic novel. a pioneer who became california's first poet laureate. >> it was bestowed on her in 1915, during the pan pacific international exhibition, which was a really big deal. >> christopher pollack is san francisco's park historian. she lived just a block away, down, down the hill to the south. he says coolbrith's friends were some of the most well-known writers of the west bret harte, joaquin miller, mark twain is another person that she got to know over time. >> so she she really gets to know the cream of the crop of the poetry and literary set in san francisco. but ina coolbrith also had a secret in her past.

>> alida george wrote a biography about coolbrith, who was born joseph ina smith, the niece of joseph smith, who founded the mormon church. >> she was very feisty and she stood up to people and she said what she thought. >> and george found examples of her feistiness. at just 15 years old, in a letter to her cousin about polygamy. >> is it right for a girl of 15 or even 16 to marry a man of 50 or 60 to be taken into his harem and enjoy the pleasure of being his favorite sultana for an hour, and then thrown aside? this is of god, is it? no, never . never, never. >> ina did marry at age 19, but after losing a child and divorcing her husband in 1851, she took her mother's maiden name and found solace and joy in writing about nature and san francisco. in one poem about the california poppy, she wrote her

golden glory thou of hills and plains lifting exultant every kingly cup brimmed with the golden vintage of the sun. evie groch, president of the ina coolbrith circle, says those poems still inspire. >> i saw her as a trailblazer. there is a universalism about her messages anticipating death and loneliness and loss, and yet not losing hope at the same time. >> many of coolbrith's manuscripts were lost in san francisco's 1906 earthquake and fire, but at oakland's main library, the ina coolbrith collection preserves the photos, newspaper clippings, and poems that did survive her poems in the overland monthly literary magazine now sit on the shelves. another chapter of her pioneering life, she was oakland's first librarian, and for 20 years she mentored oakland's youth, including a young boy named jack london. >> she had an influence on jack london's life, isadora duncan.

all of these people had oakland ties, and so i think that's her, her lasting legacy. >> that legacy lives throughout the bay area, in quiet corners in berkeley. there is an ina coolbrith path with a marker at the stairs up to grizzly peak in oakland. her bronze statue stands with other humanitarian heroes at a park on 13th street and in san francisco, there is a special place in ina coolbrith's park with a plaque called poet's corner, where visitors can sit and contemplate life and love and the natural beauty that inspired one of california's pioneers as jana katsuyama ktvu fox two news. >> we have some wet weather outside right now. it will kind of translate into the overnight hours, into the early morning, and then should fade away fairly quickly. there will be a few scattered showers on the morning commute, but most of it should be out of the area. the heavier stuff which is occurring now,

these are the temperatures from today. it was cooler today than yesterday by a good five degrees. it's wet out there on the roads. it's still coming down. yeah, you can still see it coming down on the golden gate bridge. just really heavy mist. depends where you are. but we've seen over a half inch of rain in parts of the north bay. quarter inch for some of the heavier spots in the marin watershed and the coastal hills of pacifica, and then in the regular san jose and the valley livermore valley, just a 10th of an inch or under. so it's been pretty light, as you see the radar right now, you can see the heaviest rain is moving out through the area. that is it. that's the line that once that clears out, the main event will be over. it is the main event for this particular weather system. this system, as i mentioned before, is pretty powerful way up here where it's grinding away and creating big winds, big surf and big rain. and we're just on the southern end, so we're seeing less dynamics, which is pretty typical for this time of year. as the jet stream starts to recede to the north, there's the line and it's moving out. and as

it moves out, we start to dry out a little bit. there'll be some more scattered showers probably in the morning hours. let's take a look at the model. here we are now. here we are tomorrow morning. right. tomorrow afternoon. maybe a sprinkle, but probably not. and then here we are friday morning. this is the system now dropping down. and the dynamics the most powerful part of this storm is going to be kind of south of us. and we're going to be kind of in this sector that's not so great. so you see it spinning it through. so that is at about friday night at around 6:00. so friday morning dawns pretty dry. and then it ends up pretty wet by friday afternoon. and then saturday morning and then saturday afternoon. so it's just scattered showers. saturday doesn't look half bad quite frankly, compared to where what it looked like a couple of days ago. so right now i think your best day on the weekends clearly going to be sunday. but i think saturday you're going to get stuff in, and then on friday it's going to be kind of the

same way. it's just been this these low grade kind of brushed by systems, causing enough to wet the roads and slow traffic down, but not enough to really be a complete shutter shutter downer, i guess. so there it is. chance of a shower again tomorrow. the five day forecast depicts this friday. i think friday is fine until the late afternoon. there's the five day forecast. i'll see you back here at 11. >> all right. we'll see you then. bill. thank you. amazon is announcing its latest investment injecting nearly $3 billion into a san francisco based ai startup. it's called anthropic a rival of chatgpt maker openai. amazon's latest round of funding brings its total investment into the company to $4 billion. the two companies are collaborating to develop what they call foundation models. they hope these will support ai systems that create new content like images, text and audio. well, it's not quite thunder road, but some special street signs did go up this afternoon in san francisco. bruce springsteen and the e street band are coming to
