Uncorked Words: The First Bottle is Annie-Claire Campbell's debut poetic work. It comprises words for all drinkers; Just a Tipple (Haikus), Just a Glass (Micropoetry), and The Whole Bottle (Full length poetry and Villanelles). Subject matters cover life, death, love, and society; with rhyme, as well as free verse, with both gentle and divisive abandon. This is the first of many bottles, best drunk upon opening.

Readers are invited to refine insights on the relation of creativity to a continuity of generations, concepts of time, the significance of beauty, craftsmanship, our daily lives and spiritual well-being. Color illustrations by eminent photographers are interspersed throughout the text.
When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the place of nature in Canadian nationhood and relationships between Canada's diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000 square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes, and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental challenges of protected places. Its history is a rich repository of experience, of lessons learned-critical for making informed decisions about how to sustain the environmental and social health of our national parks.
