    • Canada’s Anne Carson wins Nobel literature prize

    By on October 8, 2026

    The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded on Thursday to Canadian poet Anne Carson, an essayist and classicist who brings a modern twist to mysticism and antiquity in her writings about love, desire and despair.

    The 76-year-old was honoured “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature,” the Swedish Academy said.

    The Academy said almost all her literary production “has centred upon the intersection between the philologist’s obsession with words and the poet’s desire for new meaning”.

    It singled out her poem “Nox,” printed on one continuous sheet of paper in homage to her dead brother, as “an unforgettable work”.
