Agenda

Interview

1. Please provide a brief outline of your training and scientific activity.

I have published two books of my own poetry and one book of poetry by the turn-of-century poet Giovanni Pascoli, translated from Italian into English. My poems, translations, and essays have been published in nationally respected journals. My first book was translated into Italian and published here; several poems from my second book were translated into Italian and published in Italian journals. 
I teach literary translation, literature, and creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania.

2. Please state your reasons for choosing Venice and the Department for your research and teaching stay.

Having taught a seminar on literary translation at La Sapienza in Rome last year, I had thought to teach the course and develop a relationship at Ca’ Foscari. 

3. Have you ever had a research collaboration with the teaching staff of the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies in the past?

Yes. In 2018.
