“Canadian poet Anne Carson won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I want us to congratulate her on this great achievement.”
“Madam Speaker, I want to take a moment to recognize something very special that took place a couple of weeks ago. Canadian poet Anne Carson won the Nobel Prize in Literature. This is the world’s most prestigious literary award. Born in Toronto, Anne Carson, distinguished intellectual and educator, explores these life-channelling moments. She uses her words to reflect on love and grief, and finds meaning in the mundane. I love poetry. Poets capture the deepest aspects of human experience. They help shape our understanding of the world and cast light on the most profound emotions shared by us all. Anne Carson’s work has helped us define the undefinable and has brought meaning to the often overlooked. She is a Canadian treasure. Please join me in congratulating Anne Carson on this incredible achievement. Congratulations!”
