Dr. Sally Michael Hanna has been invited to participate in Incoci Di Civilta, a festival of Civilizations, organized and hosted by Universita Ca’ foscari Venezia ( University of Venice). She interviewed Rita Dove, the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, in Venice Italy in April 2014 for 90 minutes and the interview was deemed one of the best interviews presented in the festival. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Hanna has a Ph.D on Rita Dove and has written extensively on the poet’s oeuvre. A facebook page in Italian has been established in commemoration of the event, in which the interview was the first to be reviewed. All interviews were conducted in Italian or at least partially except the Rita Dove interview; it was conducted in English and translated in Italian. Rita Dove and Dr. Sally Michael Hanna are looking forward to future cooperation
