As an introspective and philosophical craftsman for over fifty years myself, I am greatly impressed with Korn's autobiographical combination of honesty, intellectual and emotional insights, and his accomplishment of the finished book. Reading it, I was often reminded of the etymological origin of the words poet (maker), poetry (making), and poem (the thing made).

Just as Robert Pirsig became the voice of a generation, Peter Korn reminds us in his new and important book to slow down and get our hands dirty; he reminds us that bringing ourselves into relationship with the stuff of art, be it paint, words or wood, resonates at a deep level and satisfies in a way that nothing else in our fast lane modern lives can. As he does in his own wood-working school in Maine, he teaches that it isn't necessarily about talent, but it is necessarily about connecting to our deeper selves.

Book was good.
