"By the time of his death at the age of 41, Riley had achieved a poetry whose importance is not circumscribed by the concerns and trends of its day. His finest poems are an embodiment of integrity and vision: precise observation and wit co-exist with an extraordinary beauty of image and rhythm. Riley's is an art that at its best has a place in the enduring tradition of English poetry."-Michael Grant

He read English at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and became part of the group known as the Cambridge School of Poets. He played a major role in setting up and running Grosseteste Press and its associated Review. After teaching for nine years in secondary schools he returned to Leeds to write full-time. He was attacked and killed by muggers near his home in 1978.
