Archibald Lampman

Archibald Lampman ( born November 17 1861 in Morpeth / Ontario, † February 10, 1899 in Ottawa ) was a Canadian poet.

The son of a minister visited the Trinity College School in Port Hope, and Trinity College in Toronto, where he graduated in 1882 as Bachelor. After a short time as a teacher in 1883, he found a job in the Post Office Department in Ottawa, a position he held until his death in 1899.

His first poems were published in the college magazine Lampman Rouge et Noir, and later in the magazine The Week, Atlantic Monthley, Harper's and Scribner's. Since he could not find a publisher, he published his first book of poems Among the Millet 1888 self-published. With Duncan Campbell Scott and William Wilfred Campbell, he wrote 1892/93 weekly columns under the title At the Mermaid Inn for the magazine Globe. For his second volume of poetry, Lyrics of Earth ( 1895) he found a publisher in Boston. The appearance of the third collection Alcyone and Other Poems was prevented by Lampmans early death. They circulated only in a few copies, and its content was recorded by his friend Scott in the band The Poems of Archibald Lampman ( 1900).
