Anne Carson Wins Nobel Prize in Literature
Canadian poet, translator, and essayist Anne Carson has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy recognized her for her "bold and inventive" work, which is described as being in "playful dialogue with the classical tradition." Carson, who began as a classical philologist, is known for blending poetry and popular culture, prose and verse, with humor and erudition, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Latin texts.
