[9] Boone founded Arsis Press in 1974, to publish works by contemporary women composers.

[4][10] The Arsis Press catalog came to include such composers as Vivian Fine, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Emma Lou Diemer,[11] Harriet Bolz, Elizabeth R. Austin, Nancy Van de Vate, Gwyneth Walker, Ingrid Stölzel, Vally Weigl, Ruth Schönthal, Mary Jeanne van Appledorn, Clare Shore, Elizabeth Walton Vercoe, Judith Shatin, Alexandra Pierce, and Ruth Lomon.

[4] Boone composed and published some works under the name "Lyle de Bohun", hoping to evade gender discrimination.

[14][15] In addition to these listed works, Boone published twelve songs, including a setting of a Shakespeare sonnet, and another based on lyrics by Gwen Frostic.

[16] Boone lived in Washington, D.C. for much of her adult life, and was known to ride her bikes around the city on errands, into her seventies.
