Passionate Beauty: Carman's Sappho Poems

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol27/nelson_mcdermott.htm

"Carman's poetry is a poetry of 'everywhere' which speaks the beauty of common nature. It is unproductive to judge the merit of his poetry without taking this fact into account. One would think an extensive close reading of a Carman poem an unnecessary addition to the critical discourse, but that such a reading clearly does not underlie much of the extant criticism. An exploration of even one of the Sappho lyrics reveals artistry and passion of a subtle and momentary kind perhaps unavailable to those who judge poets by their resemblance to Yeats and Keats."

Threefold in Wonder: Bliss Carman's Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol17/bentley.htm

"[This paper] will seek to demonstrate, not only that-the Sappho volume is 'more coherent and rational' than it may superficially apt, but also that it does indeed contain, and to its everlasting credit, a great deal of 'Carmen himself' -- his classical knowledge, his Unititarian philosophy, and, more surprisingly to some perhaps, his narrative and organizational skill."
