We are thrilled to share that our former professor and esteemed classicist, Anne Carson, has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy cited her "for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature". Known for groundbreaking, genre-crossing works such as Autobiography of Red, Eros the Bittersweet, and Nox, her decades of teaching, translation, and poetry have redefined what literature can be. Please join us in extending our warm congratulations to Professor Carson on this monumental achievement!
