JWR Review

Whether or not you agree with the premise that the poem "The Flying Islands of the Night" reveals the multi-faceted personality of the poet, you will find that this book is valuable resource for one getting to know more about Riley and his times. It certainly is not as scholarly or as thorough as the even more recent biography of Riley by Elizabeth J. Van Allen, but it contains a lot of anecdotes about Riley and his friends.
