BOOKS

VOICES ON THE BUS - Commuting daily on the bus, train, subway or PATH, one settles into a routine of familiar seating and faces. You can stare out the window listening to your own music, or read a book, or write poems about the experience. This is the latter. Working class verse and tales, musings and random observations about commuting in Northern New Jersey. Available as an e-book.

ONE MORNING IN JERSEY CITY - Poems written along the Hudson River Walkway near Harborside, Exchange Place, Grundy Pier, the Goldman Sachs can of Coke, and the Colgate clock in Jersey City, N.J. In these lines, you can see the pigeons running, hear seagulls squawking, helicopters buzzing overhead and see buildings reaching for the sky. Available as an e-book.

          

Belleville Sons Honor Roll - Remembering the Men Who Paid for Our Freedom, the second edition is now available in print or as a download. The 174-page second edition updates information from the 106-page original printing, including more information on Belleville actions in the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and peacetime casualties.

A Father's Place - An Eclectic Collection  Enjoy this thought-provoking collection of essays and fiction by Anthony Buccino. Here, Buccino writes about family life, the father-son-dilemma, family day trips, encouraging his newborn daughter to elope by painting lilies of the valley on the ladder, Brookdale Soda, too much coffee, pets Libby the black Labrador Retriever and Murphy the rabbit, friendships and much more!  Available as a download.

Sister Dressed Me Funny - This wistful nonfiction of life's curves is told through tales about - of all things - a naked statue and the school tie, youthful bravado and discontent, working in a shoe store and other dream jobs, sad & sweet holidays, Italian-American family roots and, of course,  that dress his sister made him wear. Available as a download.

Rambling Round - Inside and Outside at the Same Time - This collection represents the best of Buccino's humor and homage to living life every day  with tongue firmly in cheek while hoping for something funny to happen. On the occasion that he writes seriously, such as the remembrances scattered about, they are bound to give you a nice warm feeling. Buccino's essays are written from the heart and the hearth about family and surroundings. Available as a download.

"... Great storytelling! The author sees "the story inside the story" and communicates each one succinctly and effectively. His observations are a gift and so is his way of communicating them. I laughed. I cried. It made me email my 84-year-old mother. I could smell the leather of my father's shoes. THAT'S good writing...."

''Buccino takes us where we've all been, in these charming, very readable, accessible essays. It's quite pleasant revisiting the innocence that he creates or remembers in these often wry and witty observations about life. The writing is very good, even, and flows nicely, to make one want to read more.... The author could even be played up a bit on the cover, such as ''New Jersey's 'Garrison Keillor' '' or something to that effect. ... There should be definite regional interest in this book. But Buccino writes well enough to draw a national audience as well ...''
