The Positive Prime, a book of Poetry (First published 2007) was my first book of poetry that has been idealistically inpired by the lives of my two grandfathers, who represent my "Gemini Twin" spirits.

It is for the reader to judge if this is the 'right sort of poetry'. The author...

Poetry that reflects my mood at the time, poems about life and love and relationships ending. Poems and stories that everyone can relate to. Situations that can happen to any of us in every day life and also the "not so common" variety of stories like murder mysteries and scandals of every nature. Characters that "come alive" as you read. My autobiography begins when my father, age 12 and his sister age 11 and their parents, (my grandparents)...

A collaboration born of a shared love of music, photography, poetry, and Indiana, this book celebrates the history, literature, and art that informs the present and shapes our identity. Richard Fields's black and white photos are evocative imaginings of Norbert Krapf's poems, visual metaphors that extend and deepen their vision. Krapf's poems pay tribute to poets from Homer and Virgil to Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Wendell Berry, and to singer-songwriters...
