The Nobel Prize in Literature 2026 was awarded to Anne Carson “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”
Canadian poet and writer Anne Carson won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature "for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature," the award-giving body said on Thursday.
The Swedish Academy called Carson's work "bold and inventive." Carson's genre-bending writing mixes verse, prose, dialogue and translation. She's one of several prominent women to win the prize in recent years.
