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.
