From the CBC article:
>The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded Thursday to Canadian poet and essayist Anne Carson by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm.
>Carson, 76, was recognized 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.
>The academy said Carson was in Reykjavik, Iceland, "listening to the wind" when its representatives made contact with her and she was surprised to learn she had won. The poet divides her time between Iceland and Ann Arbor, Mich., and holds Icelandic and Canadian citizenship.
