+(William) Bliss Carman+--poet.
Born at Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, 1861. His ancestors lived in
Connecticut at the time of the Revolution. A.B., University of New
Brunswick, 1881; A.M., 1884. Studied at the University of Edinburgh,
1882-3, and at Harvard, 1886-8. Studied law two years. LL.D., University
of New Brunswick, 1906. Came to live in the United States, 1889. Has been
teacher, editor, and civil engineer.
In collaboration with Mary Perry King, Mr. Carman has produced several
poem-dances (_Daughters of Dawn_, 1913, and _Earth Deities_, 1914), which
it is interesting to compare with Mr. Lindsay's development of the idea
of the poem-game.
Mr. Carman's most admired work is to be found in the _Vagabondia_
volumes, in three of which he collaborated with Richard Hovey (1894,
1896, 1900). His _Collected Poems_ were published in 1905, and his
_Echoes from Vagabondia_, 1912.
