The Potless Generation/James Linnane

The Potless Generation!




This is a collection of poems that touches on everything from the passing of time to the political mess we find ourselves in and often with a savage twist or sting in the tail. There is some lovely humour and then performance pieces like "Head for the Door" and "The Starkness of Silence" have a standard that should keep them around for a long time. If I had to pick a poem though on a once through "Cold Days Are Coming" hits the spot and it's worth getting your hands on a copy just for that. James is a member of both the Boyne Writers Group and The Meath Writers' Circle and details on purchase of the above can be had if you go to

Or Bookschat Corner, link to the right! This is his third book in all, the others being "Never Take an Irishman Seriously Unless He's Armed"-New York 1988- and "The Life and Times of a Gotcha" -2011-. He lives in Ballivor County Meath with his wife and two children.
