Anne Carson, a Canadian poet and essayist based in Toronto, was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm. The 76-year-old author won for her "bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature." Carson’s work often blends poetry, prose, dialogue, and translation, drawing heavily from ancient Greek literature. Notable works include *Autobiography of Red*, a verse novel inspired by Stesichorus' fragments, and *Norma Jeane Baker of Troy*, which compares Marilyn Monroe to Helen of Troy. The prize is valued at 12 million Swedish kronor ($1.2m).
