Anne Carson, poet, essayist, translator and classicist, and former John MacNaughton Professor of Classics at McGill University, has won the 2026 Nobel Prize for Literature. Carson is being honoured “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature,” said the Swedish Academy.
McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps have marked this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
