Editorial : About the Author Frank Salvidio?s lifelong devotion to Dante includes his doctoral dissertation, Dante, Milton and Kazantzakis, his first book, Between Troy & Florence, and his translation of Dante?s Vita Nuova. Also a translator of Sappho (Sappho Says), he was educated at Columbia (BS, philosophy) AIC (MA, education) and UCONN (MA, PHD, English).
