Archibald Lampman
Archibald Lampman (1861–1899) was a Canadian poet, often regarded as one of the country's finest writers of nature poetry. His work vividly reflects the Canadian landscape and the emotional depth of its natural beauty. Lampman is best known for his collection "Among the Millet" (1888), which showcases his delicate and lyrical approach to rural life and nature. His later works, including "Lyrics of Earth" (1895), further explore themes of nature, human experience, and the passage of time.
