BLISS CARMAN
' Canadian Poet, ' ritie and Editor -- -
Bliss Carman, poet. critic ails editor, on.e et the foremost of Canada's roe -
temporary litterateurs, was barn in Fri•dencton. N. 11, in 1861, and on his
'lather's side is descended from the Caimans wlto went from Long island,
N. Y.. to New Brunswick, while his maternal ancestors fought in. the Ameri-
can Revolution. He was educated at the college school of his native town
and the\ University of New 13runswIe1 . from which be graduated in 1881,
later taking a two years' postgraduate Bourse ai the University of Edinr
burgh. 'and afterwards sp•udtng two y car•. al !Inn -aril. .
There seemed to be a restless. Bohemian strain In his nature that chafed
ander restraint and ,'onv'ention; for he tried many lines apart from litera-
ture, but it 'had somehow a compelling homing instinct that always 'Drought
Dim back to Is bottle of ink and a pets. For a tew years he read law, then
ventured into the field of civil engineering, then taught school -but It an
proved empty and unsatisfying: he hail not found his place.
It was not until his post -graduate days that his poetic sense became
manifest and undet\the stimulus of the inspiring apprecatlon of the editors
of the. college literary magazine'he began to write verses in a timid. furtive
sort of a way at first:\then he grew bolder and more Irrepressible. until the
editor's drawer 'was staked with enough Carman verses to last for years.
When he began to send h poems net to the real magazirfes where the editors
paid for contributions, ace. tanee was not so sure.
He. sent out poem aft ' poem. but they' almost invariably returned,
with no leaf of promise: bits a had supreme confidence that his doves of
verse would find resting place An some ark of editorial appreciation, The
best ones. which always -made the' reatest number of trips before acceptance,
especially Interested him. and he' g ve them pet names to commemorate their
travels, such as 'The Flying Bute an." "Ulysses" and "The wandering
Jetra." One manuscript he seat 111111. reals by- way of San Francisco and .It
came back via the SuPz Canal and Lo don. visiting many editors, and. this
poem be christened "Captain Cook." bees se it circumnavigated the globe.
Mr. Carman has been on .the editorial staff of half a dozen magazines or
of the "Literary World"; he has
more and recently retired from the edltor+hi
written about a dozen books, three jointly wt the late Richard Hovey. He
has a well -shaped head, a shock of. wavy' hai and a general premeditated
eccentricity of attire that would make him con livens In any company.
