Confederation poet, Archibald Lampman, was born in Morpeth, Ontario on November 17th, 1861. After graduating with his Bachelor of Arts from Trinity College in 1882, Lampman moved on to his lifelong career working in the Ottawa Post Office Department. The Canadian writer first began writing for his college magazine and eventually advanced to writing for various popular magazines (i.e. Scribner’s). As his writing skills flourished, Lampman published his own first collection of poetry, Among the Mullet (1888), which led to the publishing of more collections and writing for The Globe in 1892. Even after his death in 1899, his memory and his poems bonding emotion with nature, still live on as a significant part of Canadian literary history.
