Harold Pinter, who is pictured, left, with Antonia Fraser after their wedding in 1980, has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In its citation the Nobel committee said that his work "uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression's closed rooms".

This month Carcanet is publishing poems by Harold Pinter in the anthology The Tenth Muse, edited by Anthony Astbury. They are chosen and introduced by his wife.

Other Nobel prize winners available from Carcanet include Octavio Paz and Joseph Brodsky.
