Bliss Carman

Bliss Carman (1861-1929), born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, into an old Loyalist family, a cousin of Charles G. D. Roberts, studied at the university of his home town, then in Edinburgh and at Harvard, where he followed the teaching of the philosopher Josiah Royce. Settled in the United States in 1890, he lived there by magazine work and never returned to live in Canada. The collections he wrote with the American Richard Hovey from 1894 brought him considerable success. Settled in New Canaan, Connecticut, near his friend Mary Perry King, he died there.
