T. Carmi byl básník a překladatel, jehož dílo je hluboce zakořeněno v hebrejské tradici a modernímu světu. Jeho poezie zkoumá témata paměti, ztráty a lidské identity s citem pro jazyk a rytmus. Carmi byl také uznávaným překladatelem Shakespeara do hebrejštiny a editorem rozsáhlé antologie hebrejské poezie. Jeho literární odkaz spočívá v propojení starobylé hebrejské poezie s univerzálními lidskými zkušenostmi.
