In Koss's work thrives the idea of constant discovery alongside a timelessness and quiet enormity of scale. The enormity exists in reserved guises: a meeting in two creeks; a tulip petal, fog, changing light, remnants of spirits, a stillness as of colored glass. Often, landscape is the vocabulary of the poems, influenced by sojourns in the Midwest, West, Japan, and in between. The power of place affords spaciousness for reminiscence, inquiry, reconciliation. Koss's meticulously crafted work translates vast ideas into intimate contemplations beheld, like a book, in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Koss was born in 1952.
