AMERICAN BOY: PUSHING SIXTY a new book

Anthony Buccino has published his third poetry collection AMERICAN BOY: Pushing Sixty. 

Working class verse about life and growing up in New Jersey.

About life and growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and growing older in the 1980s, 1990s and the oughts.
 From the center of the Baby Boom, this working class verse begins under a wooden class room desk as an air raid siren sounds, and captures the summer spell and its simplicity in drinking water from a garden hose.

Nutley, New Jersey, author Anthony Buccino published eighteen books including four essay collections, three military history books and seven full-length poetry collections. 

Buccino won two 2014 Society of Professional Journalists Excellence in Journalism Awards in Online Media Affiliated Blog.  His stories of the 1960s and his transit blog on NJ.com earned earlier SPJ Excellence In Journalism awards.  The Pushcart Prize-nominated writer has been called ' “New Jersey’s ‘Garrison Keillor” or something to that effect.’

A financial news editor by day, Buccino nonetheless writes with humor on his many feature length posts on NJ.com, in essays and in poetry. 

Anthony Buccino created the New Jersey Poets and Poetry site online, a collection of poetry news and events.

Nostalgic for Jersey City

As you may have read, my company transferred us all from Harborside in Jersey City, N.J., across the river to Avenue of the Americas in Midtown, Manhattan.

No more do I ride the PATH into work, or wander along the Jersey City streets and shorelines during my lunch hours.

One Morning In Jersey City - last call

Jeepers, pages and pages of poetry about Jersey City, the Hudson River, sailboats, pigeons, seagulls, the pier apartments, the murky water, the pretty girls (Aloha, say the pretty girls), choppers, atrium plants and footsteps, Harborside Cafe, the elevator ride, Columbus, Hyatt Hotel sundial, cooties, ice bergs, ferries, babies in the June sun, tourists, those blue beams to the sky, and people at the railings - all in one collection of poetry: 

One Morning In Jersey City.

As you may know, my nearly ten years working at Harborside Financial Center in Jersey City has ended now that my company has moved our offices across the Hudson River to Midtown Manhattan.

Think of these poems as the shorthand of my memories of this all-too-often overlooked city. It has been my pleasure discovering the hidden places of silent comfort this town has to offer, the parks, the paths and all the friendly faces.
Thanks, Jersey City, for being such a wonderful host.

-Your humble cheerleader,
- Anthony Buccino
