Norbert Krapf Knihy

Inspired by Krapf's poetry, this evocative portrait combines the artistry of David Pierini's photographs with the essence of Dubois County. The images capture the spirit of the poet and the surrounding landscape, creating a rich visual narrative that celebrates both the individual and the place.

Exploring the interplay between memory and identity, this collection blends flash autobiography with prose poetry. It features seven cycles, each introduced by evocative photographs, where the author reflects on family history, childhood, and ancestral scenes. The narratives, delivered through various voices and infused with irony, navigate the thin line between dreams and nightmares across Europe and America. The final section intertwines the voices of Bob Dylan and the poet, celebrating the shared roots of poetry and song among Midwestern artists.

The collection of poems explores the profound impact of the author's stillborn sister on his life and family, delving into themes of grief and healing. Through his spiritual journey, Krapf reflects on loss and its lasting effects, offering a poignant narrative that intertwines personal history with emotional exploration.

Exploring the delicate balance between the earthly and the divine, this book serves as a sanctuary for the soul, encouraging readers to seek solace and transcendence. It invites individuals on a journey of spiritual reflection and personal growth, fostering a deeper connection to both themselves and the greater universe.
