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. The latest update of this volume brings us up to the end of 2025.
