Krasne, Betty

Betty Krasne is the author of poems, articles, and four previous books. For the greater part of her career she was a professor at Mercy College, in Westchester, N. Y. Known as "Dr. K," she was Director of the Honors Program and the McNair Scholars Program. She grew up in New York City, raised her family in Westchester, but presently lives in Northwest Connecticut, the foothills of the Berkshires. All her fiction is intimately connected to a sense of place, but characters and events that develop within her narratives are products of the author's imagination.
