Norb Krapf and Monika Herzig Give Special Event on Sunday Afternoon

A small but very interested audience attended Sunday's poetry and jazz performance at the Jasper Arts Center today. In the tradition of the Beat generation, Norb read many of his Indiana poems while Monika played jazz piano, accompanied by her husband, Peter. Everyone had an opportunity to speak with Norb and Monika after the reading. What a great complement - jazz and poetry.
