The Bus for America
THE BUS FOR AMERICA George Pereny's great new book is a mixture of memory, history and poetry, telling the story of a remarkable life that started under the repression of Soviet rule in his native Hungary. His family made a brave and dangerous escape from Hungary when Pereny was a boy, crossing the ocean and coming to the United States after a momentous decision to take the bus for America rather than the bus for Canada. Pereny had an adventurous education in America, coming to love rock music and words, eventually deciding on a teaching career that took him to inner-city neighborhoods and kids in desperate need of his poetry and vision. Along the way he discovered an aptitude and passion for the martial arts and had a spiritual rebirth in Christ. George's story is also a quest for love that brings him to many women until he finds the right one. Like many great books, THE BUS FOR AMERICA ends with a wedding and a new chance for a happy life in Pereny's adopted America.
From the Sounds of Chewing
George Pereny is the real shit, says Jim Klein in his intro to George's From the Sounds of Chewing. That may seem a strange way introduce From The Sounds of Chewing, but I have my reasons. First, I've known George ever since the fall of 1972 when I started teaching English at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rutherford, and George was doing grad work there. George's voice is as clear and pure as George is. He's had the experience all right, but his voice is natural and innocent. Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, George actually combines both. The apparent effortlessness of his work even gets me thinking back to the Aeolian harp, the Romantic image of inspiration caused by the wind blowing through the mountains. George has distilled the complexities of who he is, and was, and yearns to be into the verse testimony you have in your hand.
Father Charlie: Reflecting the Master
Charles McTague, "Father Charlie" to those who knew him, was an unforgettable man, a kind and caring Catholic priest who began his life as a sailor and kept a special care for sailors during his priesthood, when he was stationed for many years at Port Newark, NJ, one of the nation's busiest ports. Author George Pereny was on his own spiritual quest when he met Father Charlie, and the two formed a bond that lasted for decades until the priest's death in 2007. George decided he would write a special recollection of Father Charlie that is part biography, part memoir and part theological discourse. Was Father Charlie a saint, as many who knew him think? This luminous book will help you come to your own decision.

My Mother's Home Town
My mother's family, my godfather, and my confirmation sponsor, were all from a small Hungarian town called Gyongyos in Heves(mountainous) County an hour north of Budapest at the feet of the Matra Mountains on the northern end of the Great Hungarian Plain. In 1944, there were 22,000 people living in Gyongyos, including about 2500 Jews, most of whom, like my mother's family, perished. A handful, including my mother, survived. This is their story.
The Red Wheelbarrow 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
It's hard to believe, but it has been ten years for The Red Wheelbarrow, the Rutherford, NJ anthology that has done so much to boost the poetry of the tri-state region and create a nexus of poetic energy around the birthplace of famed poet Dr. William Carlos Williams. This is our biggest and best book to date, bursting with poetry, prose and artwork and epitomizing Williams' beliefs that a poem is a machine made of words and the epic is the local fully realized.Since Williams was a baby doctor we often get asked if we were delivered by Dr. Williams. Our answer? Not yet, but we're getting there!
