 Arthur Symons' Reviews of Bliss Carman
Carman has learnt the true vagabond’s secret, and he can render it in verse: a singularly rare combination, for by far the greater part of those who feel the one have neither power nor desire to achieve the other.
Carman is, in general, subtle in the expression of fine shades, though his phraseology—rich, coloured, suggestive at its best, and with an elusive touch in it of natural magic—does sometimes become a mere coloured mist.
Carman calls his last book a book of the unseen, and thus at the outset emphasizes its contrast with his previous books, which were very definitely books of things seen, or at all events things apprehended by the senses.

 Ezra Pound, Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey
The success of Hovey and Carman lay in their combination of a number of attitudes and forms of expression which had hitherto stood singly: the love of nature, the joy of the open road, comradeship, physical courage, medievalism, sexual democracy, the scholar gypsy, and the vivid contrast between vital energy and mere existence.
Since Carman’s poem is based on the prose translation of the Greek by Henry Thornton Wharton (Bentley 30), and Pound’s translation on the word-by-word cribs prepared by Ernest Fenollosa, it is plausible to attribute similarities to the influence of Carman on Pound.
Carman expressed exactly that sentiment in a letter to H. Lee of Jan. 4, 1912: "I inherited the ancient traditions to the full, and I am sure their influence was wholesome and benign; yet I could not accept them without scepticism.

 Passionate Beauty: Carman's Sappho Poems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Bliss Carman ruined his talent, as Desmond Pacey has pointed out, trying to be the spokesman of a crudely vigorous optimism which was alien to his sensuous, feminine and melancholy temperament.
Carman's "Epilogue" repeats and amplifies the theme of permanence/ impermanence; it is the poems themselves, defying the fact that "Earth will hear this voice no more" and continuing to display the "passion, tenderness, and joy" which "must imperishably cling / To the cadence of the words/...
One wonders, in fact, whether the current lack of interest in Bliss Carman's works is not, to some extent, a result of the way in which the critics have interpreted the poems for the reader.

Carman has undertaken in attempting to give us in English verse those lost poems of Sappho of which fragments have survived.
It is as if a sculptor of to-day were to set himself, with reverence, and trained craftsmanship, and studious familiarity with the spirit, technique, and atmosphere of his subject, to restore some statues of Polyclitus or Praxiteles of which he had but a broken arm, a foot, a knee, a finger upon which to build.
Carman's method, apparently, has been to imagine each lost lyric as discovered, and then to translate it; for the indefinable flavour of the translation is maintained throughout, though accompanied by the fluidity and freedom of purely original work.
