Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy announced on October 8. She was honoured for her “bold and inventive oeuvre” that engages creatively with classical traditions and creates new forms of contemporary literature. Carson is widely known for blending poetry, prose, translation and literary criticism, often drawing inspiration from ancient Greek literature and mythology. Her notable works include Autobiography of Red, Eros the Bittersweet and Norma Jeane Baker of Troy. The award carries a prize of 12 million Swedish kronor. (PC: The Hindu)
