Family Business: Finishing Line Press

"The title Family Business suggests the ways families live and pass on a heritage—not only the commercial ventures that feed and fail us, but the private shaping of character, lessons in loss and survival, grief and joy, that convey the shapes our lives can take, the expectations the young can have.  It’s a business we are all in, sorting out our heritage, defining notions of place and home, what home can and cannot be.” Betsy Scholl, 2005.

Boomer Girls: University of Iowa Press, October, 1999.

“Here they come, the biggest, loudest voices in the millennial USA, and there is no avoiding their oomph and bravado – who would want to? Boomer girls rock and rule in this eclectic collection of the female vernacular. No tiny feet here (lots of stamping though) – listen up!” Maureen Seaton, 1999.

Brother: Published by Action Printing in FDL.

“I count every year- how old would my brother be, had he lived? Cleaning out boxes of old things at my mother’s house, remnants of childhood, I recently came across my brother’s sketches and old photos of us playing together as children. Brother is a collection of poems that reflect my struggle to comprehend his life and death. The chapbook includes my brother’s original sketches.” Paula Sergi, 1996.
