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.
