Rev. Peyton It was awesome meeting you - I have been reading some of your poetry, and I have found some real gems! I am very glad we ran into each other. Please keep in touch, and let me know when your new book Invisible Presence is released! Thank you very much for the kind words about the Broad Ripple Blues Festival and the CD Pork & Beans by Rev. Peyton's Big Damned Band... Thanks so much for all you did to make last night's house concert so special, and special it certainly was. I can't believe how great it went. Everyone was so kind to me. I am lucky to have met you. Hearing you read was very special - a few of those I had read on your site, but it was more powerful in person for sure - as it often is.

Shea I started reading a few selections from The Country I Come From last night and of course, several things delighted immediately: "like a forgotten language / a part of you spoke / thousands of years ago" and "that part of the ear / that never unlearned / how to listen." I especially like that term "unlearned" - it suggests to me an unfortunate devolution that's contrary to what is by nature good, youthful, innocent, and true in our being. Many of your poems call to mind Blake's line about "seeing through the eye, not with it". I guess a good poet has to do both. Sometimes a beautiful tree is just a beautiful tree; sometimes there's more to dis-cover about it. Another passage, "Now say what you see. / Say shagbark hickory. / Say beech or black gum," reminds me of your poem "Arriving on Paumanok." The words themselves are so rich that they seem to complement the visual wonder of it all. "What we lost in Southern Indiana" seems to me to be a powerful indictment, even though it mostly just describes things as they once were; no preachiness.... The extremely evocative, bitterly sad loss of the mother wolf at the end is our loss as well.... I'm obviously enjoying the work quite a lot after only a few pages. It made me think about all the small details of the neighborhood I grew up in and inspired me to think about and even list them all. I'm immensely grateful for having come in touch with your work.

Luckett I really enjoyed hearing your poetry at Vic's Espresso Bar. Your readings suited the prose [comments] beautifully. I too grew up in small town Indiana, and related well to your subject matter. I look forward to hearing and reading more from you in the future. Compliments on the website, too, by the way - very nicely done! 16 June 2005 Just so you know, your poem about my song "Sweet Sister Moon" ["Full Moon Over Carmel, Indiana"] has inspired me to write this week. I've been in a dry spell for about 6 months, but your poem reminded me that there is poetry in every moment, and I am always welcome, as a songwriter, to try to capture it. I wrote a new song last evening when I got home from the Spud Puppies/King Wilkie concert... 23 June 2005 Well, thank you for the compliments [about my singing and songwriting]. Music is a wonderful vehicle for communication of things difficult to express in ordinary words. I like very much the depths of your poetry as well. I'm glad my first exposure to it was hearing your reading - it adds so much more dimension to poetry to hear it read aloud, especially by the author. You know, that's one thing that always surprised me about Alison Krauss' music - she doesn't write any of it, yet she sings it from the depths of her soul as if each line emotes some deeply personal experience. She is truly a gifted woman.

Stryk What a fine bountiful collection [Looking for God's Country]! How close you are to the beloved homeland. Everywhere in the book you touch the very heart of things, and once again demonstrate the great possibilities of the art, your art. Profound thanks for doing it and letting me share it.
Lucien Stryk 4 June 2005 |
O'Bannon I have read and reread your new book Looking for God's Country. It is so expressive to and for me. I hope to hear your voice put to these thoughts in person some time. It was a thrill to read your letter to a new Hoosier Millennium as the opening to the collection of poems. Thank you for returning to Indiana. We are proud to call you a real Hoosier.
Judy O'Bannon 23 3 June 2005 |
Mulane Thank you so very much for sending your wonderful book, Blue-Eyed Grass, as Deborah Lipman Cochelin [Klara Krapf was her great-great-aunt] asked you to... It is hard for me to express the feelings I felt when I read your poems about my Grand Aunt, Klara Krapf. It was a feeling of enlightenment, sorrow and remorse. I was quite young when I saw a great deal of my Grandmother, Philipina Krapf Meuhlenthal [Klara Krapf's sister] and I can't recall her telling me, nor does my sister, Doris Weinberg, who is three years older than I, anything about her past life or siblings. There was a time in the 1920s when Pina and her husband, Leo Meuhlenthal, lived in St. Augustine, Florida. Leo died there in 1929 and Pina returned to New York where she lived with her son and daughter in law, Sonia, and Julius Mulane. The name was anglicized during the first World War by Julius and my Father, Philip. Pina would then spend a number of winters in Savannah [where other Jewish Krapf relatives lived] staying at the home of Jerome and his family. In later years she developed what we know today as Alzheimers Disease and her sons placed her in a home where she died in 1945. I have the memory of my grandmother and she looks exactly like my great-grandmother, Babetta! I am sorry that I cannot shed any more light on the [Jewish] Krapf family, but I am indebted to Deborah and you for all you have told me...I started to read Blue-Eyed Grass as soon as I received it and enjoyed the first few poems, then my curiosity got the better of me and I turned to the ones about Klara Krapf and as I told you, I was consumed by it. I have since finished all of the book and I look forward to reading and enjoying your wonderful works.
Wally Mulane, 85 23 May 2005 |
[The following two e-mails are from Deborah Lipman Cochelin, a cousin of Wally Mulane. Deborah was the first descendant of Klara Krapf to discover the Klara Krapf poems in Blue-Eyed Grass: Poems of Germany and to make contact with the author.]
Cochelin I recently stumbled across your name and a website article about your poetry, in which you described a Klara Krapf who perished in the Holocaust. My great-grandmother, Theresia Krapf, had a sister, Klara Krapf, who too perished in the Holocaust, and all of whose siblings emigrated to the US. Klara's father was a Rabbi in Würzburg, Germany, Rabbi Wilhelm [Wolf] Meyer Krapf. I noted from your article that the name Krapf was given to a "Meier" family. Could there be some connections between us?
Deborah Lipman Cochelin 12 Dec. 2002 |
Cochelin Thanks so much for forwarding on these [Klara Krapf] materials today so that I could get a flavor of them. Brian [Krapf, a cousin of DC who lives in Savannah, GA] sent me the ID earlier, and I think I was so focused on work that I numbed myself to it. Tonight, I have had a chance to "settle in" a bit, and the tears are coming to my eyes as I see the photo [of Klara] again with the dates and the documents. I always knew somewhere in my heart that I must have had relatives who perished in the Holocaust. However, this is the first time in my life I have ever had a name and a face. I grew up with children whose parents were Holocaust survivors, and knew about the camps, and saw the tatoos and heard the stories of people who survived the medical experiments. If you are a fan of Pat Conroy's works, and have ever read "Beach Music," the introduction to the book references his inspiration for writing the book, a woman with whom I grew up whose parents survived the camps. They ended up in Charleston, my home town, only as the result of someone knowing someone who lived in America who happened to live in Charleston. They arrived in New York on a Thanksgiving day, and didn't even know what Thanksgiving was, and by the next day were in Charleston. Some of their children still live there. Bottom line is now that this is hitting home for me the first time in my life. And, just as an aside, on a more pleasant note, the beach referenced in the book, Sullivan's Island, is the beach on which I grew up.
Deborah Lipman Cochelin 16 Dec. 2002 |
Bennett Norbert Krapf's new collection illustrates, again, the "Master Builder" poet he is, from foundation to conclusion in a fashion and with materials that so embrace the particular landscape he has chosen to site a poem. The poems are evocative and so fresh and perceptive they attained a spiritual foothold within this reader. It was such a pleasure to read Looking for God's Country. One could write at some length about individual poems, but here one wishes to cite, reverentially, the stunning Epilogue, in and of itself worth "the price of admission."
Saul Bennett 23 May 2005 |
Wallace I've spent the last forty years trying to explain to my "outside world" friends just what it was like growing up in Jasper. You have pegged every moment, brought back memories that should never have been forgotten. Your writing is very tender and I've had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. But as I read "The Labor Day Boxes" I giggled. I have told this story about the Labor Day boxes many times and absolutely no one believes it. I think it must be a Jasper thing. I remember some of the older kids on my W. 5th St block, Buddy Schiller and some of the Birge kids built entire city blocks with multiple-story buildings and dragged them down to the County Courthouse Square, and then everything was set on fire after we all assembled. I guess some of these peculiar entertainments have gone by the wayside. I thank you for being the voice of Southern Indiana. It makes me evermore proud to be from The Country I Come From... I bought more of your books from Amazon and will spread them among my friends.
Ann Wallace Nichols 9 May 2005 |
Acosta How did the reading [at C.W. Post] go? I did get a chance to buy your latest book about a month ago. I wish I could've heard some of it read, especially the poem "Dark and Deep," my favorite in that book. One particular line from that poem really touched me, because it goes down to the core of my beliefs: "It was / the thrill of not knowing where / he was going or what might come / that gave a slight bounce to his step..." I think too many times people, including myself, become so concerned about the future and everything that must take place, that they forget about enjoying the moment, enjoying the fact that the future is uncertain and in a sense everything is possible. Perhaps that wasn't your intention when you wrote that poem, but I'm truly happy you were able to bring forth that idea, even if only to my eyes.
Shakira Acosta 19 April 2005 |
Kerlin Norb, it was such a treat having you here, at St. Joseph's College and the Prairie Arts Council, and generous of you to share the spotlight with Becky and James, our student writers. I like so many poems in God's Country - especially the "Dark and Deep" one and its companion across the page, "What I Found in the Woods." The opening is exactly what I remember in that long past time when I went squirrel hunting by myself and would hear voices echoing around the hills above the Wabash River. Come back whenever you can.
Charles Kerlin 7 April 2005 |
Groppe The titles of Norb Krapf's books tell you that he is a poet of place. Peter Hessler in River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze, a memoir about his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer college English teacher, recalled that to the Chinese, the place makes the people. As an American, Hessler thought that people make the place. Actually both processes constitute the dynamics of place, the place offering certain possibilities like hard wood trees and the people offering their talents for turning hard wood into furniture. Norb's poetry captures both dynamics, the potential as well as the limitations of a milieu and the strengths and weaknesses of those who call a given place home.
John Groppe April 5, 2005 |
Louviere I picked up Blue-Eyed Grass and began with a little Reimenschneider and Dürer. I've seen that kind of poetry in your other work, so I began devouring the dust jacket blurbs. Boy, the front flap by Martin Greenberg really got to me, so I looked at the table of contents. I saw what he was talking about, your coming to grips with the whole negative side of German history, which ... I had to deal with as well. So anyway, I turned to the back section and began. I often let out vocal cries and had to slam the book on my finger. Then I'd open it and read another poem, and sometimes the book actually shook like it was under its own Ouigi-board type power. I was completely overcome. The Oven with Daniel. His simple 9-year old comment. Elizabeth's inability to enter. The "spa city in the East" and the conditions there. The track at the Würzburg station. The meeting of Michael and Meir, and their goodbye, and the "schön für Kinder" of your friend, and the way your inquiries were met in the ghetto, the Judenhof, in Klara's hometown of Wonfurt, by the evasions and lies. Oh boy. You are a hero of the highest kind because you could have toed the line on the German side of the history. Your status and sales would have been both enhanced and desecrated in one stroke. You could have chosen never to deal with the Question and you would have been a segment artist forever. Embracing the whole of the History has confirmed what always was: You write simple things very, very well, and that is the essence of elegance.You do that and let the chips fall where they fall. You do what is right. You do what hurts, if necessary. It's like the "Skinning the Rabbit" in Somewhere in Southern Indiana, but on a cosmic scale.
James Peter Louviere 23 March 2005 |
Clemente I can't remember when I've enjoyed a volume of verse so, affirming what Philip Larkin insists, how in enduring poetry - as in yours - "Readability is credibility," your poems in Looking for God's Country always tuning-fork true, the facile ease of saying within a prayerlike, hushed, chapel-tone register, "The time has come / to come home, Mother. / I can hear your quiet voice / sing these words, / and the tune is right." Always just right, and always within the heart's hearing and yearning. And such range, such an embrace of time and words and people: "I say open the gates, let people walk toward one another.... Let poems and songs break down the walls.... Let this pure language flow." And always, your very own Vestigia Dei, these very "traces and shadows of God," even under"Moon Shadows," even "...on my father's workbench, / in the furnace room of the basement...." And like another Far Wanderer, our Dante, you too find a place for the heart to rest, teach us that there is indeed a "God's Country," where we find, along with the truth of ourselves, the little that all is: just "to hear / the turtlecove coo / in the pines at dusk" There can't be more than this! That Norbert Krapf voice I've heard for 25 years sings [in this book] for all of us.

Newton My name is Jerry Newton and even though I have lived in NYC for the past 26 years I hail from Jasper, Indiana. My father was Jack Newton and my mother is Rose Marie (Gramelspacher) Newton. I was home for the holidays and stopped by the Dubois County Museum (the old Gramelspacher House) and picked up some of your books and just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed them. I got my BA in History from Indiana University and have always loved reading about the early German settlers in southern Indiana. Just wanted to let you know that your books were very enjoyable and I hope you continue writing about our great heritage.

Moreland I honestly had not heard of you until last fall when I came across your latest book while at Barnes & Noble in Indianapolis. The cover caught my eye, as I am a lover of autumn. I knew the picture had to be of somewhere in my beloved Indiana. After I started paging through it, I saw a side of poetry I hadn't experienced before. To be honest, I never was into poetry that much; I didn't understand much of what poetry I had read up to that point, let alone know how to write it myself. Reading your words was like opening a window, not only one leading to your soul, seeing where you came from, but also to my own soul, realizing, too, where I have been, and possibly where I am going. I have a German/Cherokee background, and it was refreshing to read of other lives living similar situations and feeling likewise emotions. I was very impressed with your style -- I like to call it "intricate simplicity," if you will; an oxymoronic description of emotions stemming not only from a sense of place but a true sense of self, and others' sense of self. I plan to dive into more of your works and gain a further appreciation for your poetry and prose...for what I now consider one of the finer things in life. Thank you for your descriptions: picturesque, timely, appropriate, applicable, and memory-inspiring. They also inspire me to make more time for myself to write more of what I feel is buried deep inside me, from the places where I've been to the places where I may be going. You not only possess a sense of place and self, but are truly a writer who commands a sense of respect. I shall be so lucky to even come close to expressing myself in the same manner -- giving much but not excessively, affecting another in a way that they have not felt imposed upon but rather that they, too, have "been there, done that."

Dear Norb, Still today my inner being is shocked by "Return to a Mighty Fortress." I walked through that whole evening with you, Jack, and Jeff. I see you driving out of the Skyline area, down Ritter's hill, sneaking into the church, all 3 sheets to the wind, and Jeff dramatically opening the lid to the console, then with a flourish playing the melodies we will forever have ingrained . I regret that I was not there to share this great adventure. Of course, Mick and I feel honored to have our very own poem in the book. Thank you for holding on to our roots for us. I am amazed at how you hear and feel who you are.

The Country I Come From arrived yesterday and it overturned my plans for the
day. I stopped and read it before dinner, after, and again before bed.
Your joy and sorrow mixing with mine. Thank you! October 20, 2002 |
Bohnert
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed The Country I Come From. I
especially enjoyed The Labor Day Boxes (no one we know out here has ever
heard of such a thing) and Saturday Night at the Calumet (it was so
unbelievably accurate). I also loved the ones about your mother------they
are beautiful. September 25, 2002 |
Breinig I think that The Country I Come From contains some of your very best poetry. As you can imagine, I go for the nature poems most of all, for those texts where you see yourself at a distance (of memory) and let the language, the sound, the imagery, do its own work to make the reader, me, feel corresponding emotions, create images in my mind. Also I have the feeling that you have put exceptionally hard work into the formal polish of the poems in this book: line cuts, sound play, shorter and longer stanza units and so forth. I find echoes of quite a bit of twentieth-century American poetry in these texts and I like it because it creates a very fruitful tension between the rural, regional subject and the modernist approach. I might use a few of the texts in my upcoming seminar on Multiculturalism because they present something most of our students don't know anything about: the German presence in America.
Helmbrecht Breinig September 25, 2002 |
Gutgsell It was great hearing you share your thoughts about your poems in The Country I Come From at the Dubois County Museum in Jasper. Hearing them out loud in your voice just makes the words leap & jump, cause sadness, happiness and especially warmth from within of memories of years gone by. I never realized that you had the opportunities of so many down-home farm experiences. I thought I was one of the few kids living in town that got to spend weeks 'down home on the farm.' One interesting thing about the thoughts and insights in your writings is that they include both Jim's and my childhood and therefore the lives of both our parents also. So many of your poems are of your own deep personal feelings that you share with everyone! Many of these perplexing feelings are the same that most of us have experienced but are never able to share with anyone. Your love and admiration for your parents, brothers, sisters, wife, children and friends shine through but also your inadequacies, shyness, and questions of life are forever present. The more I read your poems, the more I am able to understand myself!"
Marilyn Hass Gutgsell August 31, 2002 |
Morgan It's a beautiful book, a great range of memory and connection, many layered and reaching in unexpected ways, narrative at times, lyric at others. The effect is almost choral in places.

right there wherever it is you are writing about. August 28, 2002 |

devoted guests. You have worked hard and your fruit is coming forth. I bought
your Long Island book at the Flower Stall here in Jasper. This book is a

speak of you and connections familiar to both of us. What a treasure you have
given us all! 17 Dec. 2000 11.23 a.m. |

I greatly enjoyed meeting you and hearing you at the Humboldt-Uni tonight.
After I finished working, I began reading your book "Blue-Eyed Grass: Poems
of Germany" on the U-bahn, and was again so deeply touched by your work. You address so utterly honestly and
movingly issues that are very close to my own heart. I, too, have lifelong
ties to this country, but since I live here now, I have lost a bit of my
sense of wonder and objectivity. Experiencing it through your eyes and words
is already reawakening things in my own mind and heart. I thank you for
this. 18 June 2000 |
