Overview and metadata sections
Loofbourow was an American author and collector of Mormon and Utah poetry.
The collection consists, for the most part, of manuscripts of works of Mormon and Utah poets collected by Loofbourow, including Claire Stewart Boyer, Maurice Churchill, Clarence E. Eddy, W. Eder, Maude Blixt Frome, Mary Clark Kimball, Cleone Montgomery, Genevieve Selender, Jane Sheean, Lois V. Smith, and Rachel B. Taft. Also included are a notebook, "Contemporary Verse," by Percy Horne containing newspaper clippings of poems which appeared in The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah); a collection of parodies of well-known poems, Utah Sings C.O.D., with contributions by various Utah and Mormon poets; transcripts of a play, The Viking King, and an essay, "Richard Strauss" (1908), by W. Eger; and a commonplace book (1858) by Hannah Topfield King. In addition, there are some of Loofbourow's notes, his typescript of a critical appraisal of Clarence E. Eddy's poems written for the Salt Lake City Tribune (July 12, 1936), and a fragment of a typescript on Alfred Lambourne's poems.
The collection was formed as a result of a departmental practice of combining into one collection manuscript material of various accessions relating to a particular author.
