The Taos Crescent - Kloss Phillips
- Poems
In this collection of poetry and prose, Phillips Koss portrays Taos, New Mexico, in light of its land and inhabitants. From the geology of mountain and desert to the wry quirks of human nature, Kloss is vivid in his accounts of this northern New Mexico hideaway. His reminiscences of the rural communities of the Taos valley are sharp and focused. His portraits of the Taos artists are sharper still. Phillips Kloss was born in Webster Groves, Missouri in 1902. He moved to New Mexico in 1916 where he worked on his brother’s ranch, later graduating from the University of California at Berkeley in 1925. Once a reporter for the San Francisco Bulletin, he married the artist/etcher Alice Geneva Glasier (Gene Kloss) and moved to Taos, New Mexico in 1927. He is also the author of North Star, Rainbow Obsidian, The Great Kiva, and The Stronghold, all from Sunstone Press.
