Chasing the Wind by James Linnane is a series of reflections on love, life and everything in between. A total of eighty nine poems in all, it is a fair size collection and as the author say in the intro, "I have been scribbling poetry since I was 17, good and bad, about everything that happens in my life: joy, pain, despair, frustration, love, hate and anything in between can induce a poem in me". He writes about family, friends and other people and often with a humour that tells its own story. His social commentary has a keen edge to it and very hard to argue with the sentiments expressed. A member of a number of writing groups including The Boyne Writers and The Meath Writers' Circle he has published five books to date including the one above. His other books are, Never take an Irishman seriously unless he's armed (New York 1988) The Life and Times of a Gotcha (2011) The Potless Generation (2014) and Leaving Galway ( 2016). He now lives in Ballivor, County Meath with his wife and two daughters.
