About the Author Bliss Carman FRSC (April 15, 1861 – June 8, 1929) was a Canadian poet who lived most of his life in the United States, where he achieved international fame. He was acclaimed as Canada's poet laureate during his later years. In Canada Carman is classed as one of the country's Confederation Poets, a group which also included Charles G.D. Roberts (his cousin), Archibald Lampman, and Duncan Campbell Scott. "Of the group, Carman had the surest lyric touch and achieved the widest international recognition. But unlike others, he never attempted to secure his income by novel writing, popular journalism, or non-literary employment. He remained a poet, supplementing his art with critical commentaries on literary ideas, philosophy, and aesthetics."

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Half Sappho, Half Carman, but Genuine Poetry. By Kohtaro Hayashi The title above shows all.Nobody knows Sappho's real life, but her spirit still exists now through her poems exactly. Mr Carman has proved this. William Bliss Carman is a true poet. His copious imaginative and astonishing construction which based on Sappho's many scattered fragments is a really splendid composition. It is constructed by rhythm, tone, and harmony, just like music. And some poems can be said his own words creation--an extreme example, the Poem Xll, surprisingly 'the first line only' attributes to Sappho's, and the rest fifteen lines are Carman's.It is out of the question for his Victorian style from the narrow sight. Thou, thy, hark, haply, hadst, etc. which he has used, are doubtless beautiful sound phonetically. The use of inversion makes it also.This book has a notable introduction by Charles George Douglas Roberts. (author's cousin also a poet who inspired Carman, and was knighted in 1935). We can go back to a hundred years ago at the first published time this Poetry in 1904.A candid advice; this edition is large 8vo, but its inside layout is very poor. No regard to the page-separation for the verses, particularly annoying verse-line's number. I recommend the Feminine Publishing edition. Here, the both of those problems are none.About Poem XC: In the edition of L.C.Page and Company MDCCCCllll (1904), the verse begins that, O sad, sad face....., not A sad, sad face..... I think "O" is a correct word.

He has made complete poems out of single lines. They may be beautiful and they may be poetic, but if you're looking for scholarship on Sappho, this is not it.

Blankenship As we know, only fragments of the writings of Sappho have been preserved; bits and snippets from here and there; portions of what was likely to have been a massive work. What a pity so much was lost.I must admit that I was misled a bit when I loaded this particular collection and was at first a bit disappointed to learn that only small portions of Sappho's original text had been used and then was added to and completed by William Bliss Carman. After I got over this disappointment (I should have known better), I actually enjoyed the beauty of this work. Carman held to the spirit of the original poet as well as anyone I have read in the past. There are some truly beautiful lines in this work.If though your objective is to perform research on the original works of Sappho, then you need to look elsewhere. Very little of her actually writing is present in this particular publication. That being said though, I do recommend this one simply because it is so beautifully written.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
