Archibald Lampman
Archibald Lampman (born November 17, 1861 in Morpeth / Ontario , † February 10, 1899 in Ottawa ) was a Canadian poet.
The son of a pastor attended Trinity College School in Port Hope and Trinity College in Toronto, which he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1882. After a brief period as a teacher, he found a position in the Post Office Department in Ottawa in 1883 , which he held until his death in 1899.
Lampman published his first poems in the college magazine Rouge et Noir , and later in The Week , Atlantic Monthley , Harper's and Scribner's . Since he could not find a publisher, he self- published his first volume of poetry Among the Millet in 1888. With Duncan Campbell Scott and William Wilfred Campbell , he wrote weekly columns in 1892/93 under the title At the Mermaid Inn for Globe magazine . He found a publisher in Boston for his second volume of poetry, Lyrics of Earth (1895). The publication of the third collection, Alcyone and Other Poems , was prevented by Lampman's untimely death. It only circulated in a few copies, and its contents were included in The Poems of Archibald Lampman (1900) by his friend Scott .
In addition to Charles GD Roberts (1860–1943), Bliss Carman (1861–1929), and Duncan Campbell Scott (1862–1947), Lampman is counted among the Confederation Poets , a group of poets who, at the time of the founding of the state of Canada, thus around 1860, (they sometimes also include William Wilfred Campbell (1860–1918) and Frederick George Scott (1861–1944), Francis Joseph Sherman (1871–1926), Pauline Johnson (1861–1913), George Frederick Cameron (1854 –1885) and Isabella Valancy Crawford (1850–1887)).
