Yountakah Country: print, Kindle and Nook


Cherry Blossom Press presents YOUNTAKAH COUNTRY A Poetic View Of Nutley Old And New by Nutley writer Anthony Buccino. The poetry collection is available on Amazon and Nook

The local writer takes some history, some folk lore and some current news and mixes them together in this humorous and thoughtful collection of verse about the little town now called Nutley in northeastern Essex County.

On these pages, Buccino brings in his mix of verse, history and humor the Lenni Lenape, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, Richard Stockton, the Colonial Garden, the Velodrome and valium, overnight parking, the UN Gardens, the ITT tower, the Thin Man, Guthrie's general store, President Grant, Nutley Theater, pizza wars and more.


Buccino published twelve books, including six earlier full-length poetry collections:  
  • CANNED Booted, bumped, down-sized, fired, forced out, hated, hired, laid off, let go, out of work, out-sourced, pink-slipped, terminated, sacked, unemployed
  • Retrieving Labrador Days - Dog Tales In Prose And Verse;  
  • Sixteen Inches On Center
  • AMERICAN BOY: PUSHING SIXTY
  • VOICES ON THE BUS;  
  • ONE MORNING IN JERSEY CITY

He published three collections of essays based in and around New Jersey. Buccino blogs about life in New Jersey and about commuting at NJ.Com.

The Nutley Sons and Belleville Sons honor roll books recount the lives of more than 300 men who died in service to their country. Buccino is a business news editor in New York City.

Brookdale Soda - Verse

BROOKDALE SODA

Who could wait to drive
the family sedan or wagon
To the Brookdale soda depot
on 6th Street or Sylvan?
Empty cases in the trunk
Scooting through tree-lined streets
To the back yard driveway off
Sylvan Avenue in Bloomfield
or the Allwood Circle cross town
Or off to downtown at Heller/Heller
Grab a hand cart and an empty case
Splintering wood and later dark-blue plastic –
Go through the stacks of cases and fill them:

Birch beer – two or three, Kola, cream,
ginger ale, Cheers – don’t forget quinine too
Blood red cherry and cherry-pit, another birch
and fill it out with root beer, more Kola, too
and orange soda, cream, and bright green lemon-lime
Life never got any better than this,
and we wouldn’t know that for a long while
