Short Talks by Anne Carson

WINNER OF THE 2026 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

The first collection of poems by the winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Short Talks is a series of profound, elegiac prose poems that touch on subjects like travel, animals, philosophy, and art, delivered with Anne Carson's now-signature--and singular--heart and wit.

First published in 1992, the 2015 reissue features a foreword by poet Margaret Christakos, a "Short Talk on Afterwords" by Carson herself, and a new cover and design by renowned typographer Robert Bringhurst.

Anne Carson is a Montreal-based poet, essayist, and classics researcher. The Dalkey Archive has released her first work, Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay (Princeton). Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse (Knopf), her most recent book, was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry.
