Bliss Carman Senior Public School

School History

Bliss Carman (1861 – 1929) was a preeminent Canadian poet. Born William Bliss Carman in Fredericton, New Brunswick, he published under the name "Bliss Carman," although the "Bliss" is his mother's surname. In his time, he was arguably Canada's best known poet, and was dubbed by some the "unofficial poet laureate of Canada."
