Indiana Hill Country Poems

Poetry. Norbert Krapf is blessed with the haunting beauty of his childhood and youth in rural Indiana. Family and friends crowd upon him, gentle men and women, hard working farmers straight out of gracious but impoverished Germany of the nineteenth century. They are his roots in being, and he pays them deep, discerning love and gratitude for who they were and are to him still, strengthened in himself as man and poet because of them.--David Ignatow
