Book excerpt: 165,321 corks 1 boat Most people have childhood dreams; few ever pursue them. At the age of 34, John Pollack quit a prestigious speechwriting job on Capitol Hill to pursue an idea he had harbored since the age of six: to build a boat out of wine corks and take it on an epic journey. In Cork Boat, Pollack tells the charming and uplifting story of this unlikely adventure. Overcoming one obstacle after another, he convinces skeptical bartenders to save corks, corrals a brilliant but disorganized partner, and cajoles more than a hundred volunteers to help build the boat, many until their fingers bleed. Hired as a speechwriter for President Clinton midway through construction, Pollack soon has the White House saving corks, too. Ultimately, he and his crew set sail down the Douro River in Portugal, where the boat becomes a national sensation. Written with unusual grace and disarming humor, Cork Boat is a buoyant tale of camaraderie, determination, and the power of imagination.

Book excerpt: The paperback version of the quirky and beautiful Cork on the Ocean An uplifting journey of discovery and friendship, Cork on the Ocean is the first tale in the 'Cork Voyages' trilogy. Beautifully illustrated and produced, this wonderful picture book, told in clever rhyme, follows the adventures of a plucky little cork as it encounters life upon the open sea. Praise for CORK ON THE OCEAN: "With delightful rhyme and enchanted drawings, this journey of discovery takes the reader on a lovely trip across the oceans as Cork meets new friends and in turn finds out about itselfa a truly memorable and beautiful children's story that will enchant kids and adults alike." Richard Taylor - WETA Workshop "Rich with metaphor, CORK is a touching tale of camaraderie, taking the good with the bad, and about the voyage one makes before finding one's soul-mate. Told in clever rhyming verse (somewhat Seuss-like), this is a beautifully produced New Zealand book with unique illustrations and an utterly charming storyline: certainly a book to be treasured. 5 Stars." Sarah Moore - NZ Herald

Book excerpt: The poems of The Parchment Boat report the findings of her ruminations at archaeological sites, in her own garden, into custom, music, and language itself. They continue their attention to the western seaboard of Ireland and several reflect experiences of a stay in Canada. In many of them there is a kinship with mystery; in most of them a series of surprising images registers the rich yield of half-belief and faith. They recognize, and glory in, "a pattern to life's pulls and draws".
