Volume 1 of Robbie Moffat's Poetic Works starts with him hitch-hiking at the age of twenty as he sets out to go to India. It is a young, unpretentious and na ve beginning for a poet who goes on to compose poetry for the next fifty years. The technique improves, the subject matter becomes more interesting, the travels ever more extensive, his observations deeper, and his love life more exotic.Covering the years 1974 to 1986, the poetry reveals a young man trying to make his way in life working as a bus conductor, oil rig roustabout, fish factory skinner, cotton picker, house builder, taxi driver - anything and everything to make a living while struggling as a novelist who is trying to get published. The Far East, Africa, South America, USA and eventually to England to go to university to learn how to learn to write, all of this is documented in the poetry in this Volume. The results of his worldly education and the one he received at university can be plainly seen on the later pages of this book as Robbie Moffat learned new ways to talk to himself, and new ways to put down in his poetry for others to read many of the shortcomings he observed. It is a fascinating insight into the 70's and 80's generation.
Robbie Moffat's Poetic Works Volume 2 covers his leaving of Newcastle University and moving to Somerset to live in the Quantock Hills where Wordsworth and Coleridge wrote their Lyrical Ballads. Heavily influenced by the landscape, he returned to composing in the ballad form. However, love troubles were ever present, and he went off to Thailand where he began the Universal Being. Returning in debt, he took a job in a fish factory in north-west Iceland and continued with his poetry in between completing two novellas. Going back to Scotland to live, his next six years of poetry writing were prolific. Volume 2 contains some of his finest work, long descriptive poems of his travels juxtaposed with his childhood mixed with a blend of all things contemporary, marks these works as unique. In this period he fully develops his own distinct voice about what it is like to be a poet, novelist and playwright struggling to make a living like everyone else.
Volume 3 of Robbie Moffat's Poetic Works. Taking a break from poetry as a literary imperative, Moffat moved back to England in 2005 to pursue his film career. In this volume after some light opening four liners, we pick up the story in 2014 as he turns sixty and seriously commences writing poetry again. Once more in a perilous financial situation, he works through his difficulties by writing about it . He is no longer the young man impatient to be off on adventures, nor the man of his middle years with a settled life. He is an aging man who is starting to feel his age. This is what is captured in this volume along with the constant travelling that his film work demands. He records times and places that make you feel that you are there with him. There is a simplicity to these mature poems, the common day language of our age, the preoccupations that war and conflict have made us face daily while getting on with life. It brings us up to the end of 2024. Will there be more to come from Moffat as the years roll on? It appears he has every intention of continuing to add to his body of work.

This story is about faith, ignorance, denial and revenge. In parts it is about unity, common purpose, and triumphalism. However, it is also about sadistic nature, power gone wrong, and retribution. For this kind of story is for an audience obsessed with religious wrong-doing, its hypocrisy and its secrets. If there is a moral, then it must be that the reader following the actions of our heroine understand why she is compelled to commit the same acts that have been perpetrated on her. Only after such deeds are done, when the meaning of compassion is fully understood, can our heroine change the course of her life and of those that she leads.
