Download or read book Ida Hagan of the Pinkston Freedom Settlement written by Norbert Krapf and published by NCSA Literatur. This book was released on 2024-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I grew up in Jasper, in Dubois County, I had never heard of a Pinkston Settlement. Nor had anyone else of my generation. It is still not widely known about, even in our time. Ida Hagan's father, Ben Hagan Jr., was the last Black buried in Pinkston Cemetery, in 1939. IIt's high time the impressive story of this woman is told in a book of narrative poems, my favorite way to tell stories for some fifty plus years of writing and publishing. But you will also find more than a few lyrical moments. If you have not met Ida Hagan, just as I had not growing up in the area in which she was born and worked for a Swiss Doctor Wollenmann in German-Catholic Ferdinand, she may surprise you. Ferdinand is not far from little German-Catholic St. Henry, where my father was born in 1904. I will not repeat the story of the most impressive Ida Hagan here, because I tell it in detail in the book you are holding. I will, however, tell you that Ida was born in 1888 in Huntingburg, Indiana, where she attended high school after finishing "common" or elementary school, in a country school. After Doctor Wollenmann died in 2012, Ida moved away from Dubois County, lived with her first husband and worked as a pharmacist in Indianapolis, where in 1926 she married a second time, and moved with her new husband to Detroit, where she lived until 1978. I believe in learning about Ida you will be surprised, as I was, and probably, also like me, be amazed and gratified that you came to learn about such an impressive woman. Like me, you may want to learn more about Ida. Perhaps, like me, you will also regret that you were not lucky enough to meet and spend time with her. You may want to share Ida's story with friends.

Download or read book Catholic Boy Blues written by Norbert Krapf and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norbert Krapf, past Indiana Poet Laureate, Pulitzer Prize nominee, emeritus prof. of English at Long Island University, and author of twenty-five critically acclaimed books, has written a new book, "Catholic Boy Blues: A Poet's Journal of Healing." Norbert is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. After fifty years of struggling with his past, he felt that by confronting it in writing, he could offer fellow victims comfort, healing, and a sense of freedom from the long-term effects of abuse. He also believed that the book, seven years in the making, could help caregivers who counsel and minister to survivors of abuse. "Catholic Boy Blues" gives insight and encouragement to those who have not yet confronted their abuse and to friends and family members who want to understand better the long-term effects of abuse. After Norbert began to write about the emotional turmoil which affected him, his feelings of betrayal by God and Church, and his years of troubled silence, he experienced healing and a renewal of spirit. The 130 poems he selected from the 325 he wrote came in four voices: the boy he was, the man he became, Mr. Blues (a fictional friend, mentor, and counselor), and the Priest. The honesty and power of Norbert's words convey representative emotions and thoughts of those abused. Although the poems aren't always pleasant, they give the reader a vivid look at the helplessness, anger, betrayal, and isolation any victim suffers, but in the end, as Jason Berry says, "Norbert Krapf fuses the rolling wisdom of blues singers with incantations of his own past that echo sacred ritual. Along the way he turns trauma into elegy, and takes suffering to a plateau of human triumph."

Download or read book German Settlers of South Bend written by Gabrielle Robinson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the first German immigrants to northern Indiana is the story of the beginnings of South Bend. The predominant immigrant group from the 1840s to the 1870s, the Germans helped build South Bend from an isolated trading post into a thriving industrial city. They also played a key role in transforming the surrounding wilderness into rich and fertile farmland. Using first-hand personal accounts and public documents, German Settlers of South Bend illustrates the lives of these pioneer immigrants and their growing city. The material has been collected from a large number of sources on both sides of the Atlantic, including more than 200 German letters from the 1840s to the 1870s that provide glimpses into the day-to-day lives of these early settlers and their families back in Germany. Descendants of immigrants from all over the United States and Germany have come forward with genealogies, stories, and pictures, providing a far-reaching portrait of the times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Native American Studies. "From the first poem in SOUTHWEST BY MIDWEST, 'Prolog: The Pot Taking Shape" to the last, 'Epilog: At the Center of the Circle, ' former Indiana Poet Laureate Norbert Krapf weaves a delicate, prescient tale of New Mexican and Arizonian indigenous aesthetics and poetry, its artists and the universe in clear, gentle and tactile language. Krapf shows not only a literary prowess but a consideration for cultural nuances not his own. With the last lines of his last poem, 'You too make love and music / that can save us all. You too / live and breathe at the center, ' he connects us back to the beginning: to language and ourselves. A beautiful book."--Shonda Buchanan
