Which poets in Canada had a great influence after the American War of Independence?

At this time, the most influential poet was Oliver Goldsmith of Nova Scotia (1794- 186 1). He was the first Canadian poet born and bred, and his New Village (1825) was named after the abandoned village of his great-uncle Oliver Goldsmith. This long poem traces the development of coastal provinces by early immigrants and shows the author's earnest expectation for a better future. Alexander Maclachlan of Ontario (18 18- 1896) wrote short poems such as Young Canada, which imitated the poetic style of Burns. There are memories of Scotland's hometown in the poem, and they also express their love for Canada, their new hometown. The poetic drama Sol (18 1876) and the narrative poem The Judge's Daughter (1865) written by Charles Hervesegy of Montreal imitate Milton's blank poems and are based on medieval history.
