Literature
“for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature” Did you know? Anne Carson is a Canadian poet who is also a classics professor. Her best-known book, Autobiography of Red, retells an ancient Greek myth about Herakles and the red-winged monster Geryon as a modern coming-of-age novel written in verse. She also translated Sappho's surviving fragments in If Not, Winter, leaving brackets where the papyrus has crumbled away.
