Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Carman, Bliss, 1861-1929 : Bliss Carman was a Canadian poet and author that lived from April 15, 1861 - June 8, 1929. He was among the first Canadian writers to receive international recognition and acclaim. Carman is often classified as one of the "Confederation Poets," alongside Archibald Lampman, Charles G.D. Roberts, and Duncan Campbell Scott.

He was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick and attended school where he was taught by George Parkin, as was his cousin Charles G.D. Roberts. After graduating from the University of New Brunswick in 1881 and studying in Edinburgh for two years, Carman himself taught at the school under Parkin. He then studied law and practised civil engineering. From 1886 to 1888 he did post graduate work in history and philosophy at Harvard. Subsequently, he was employed on the editorial staffs of various literary publications in New York, Chicago and Boston, including The Literary World. He devoted the later years of his life solely to writing poetry and lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, 1908-1929.
