Carrier was descended from Martha Carrier, one of the women hanged during the notorious Salem witch trials of 1692. The witch trials were the subject of Carrier's last volume of poetry.
After graduating from Smith College in 1929, Carrier taught at New Britain High school, and then five years at Hall High School in West Hartford, before retiring in 1969. She taught several subjects, but is most remembered for teaching Latin.
Her work was published in the New Yorker,[2]New York Quarterly,[3]Ploughshares,[4]Poetry,[5] and Harper's.[6] In the 1960s and 1970s, Carrier published translations of the works three classical Roman writers: the playwright Terence, and the poets Propertius and Tibullus.
