John Riley (1937-1978) was known as one of the members of the so-called Cambrrdge School of poetry, and was co-editor, with Tim Longville, of the seminal Grosseteste Review and its associated press. His poetry, as with many others associated with the magazine, shows the influence of Pound and Olson, but it also reveals his interest in the Russian tradition -- exemplified by his fine translations of Mandelstam, and by his long poem, 'Czargrad', the latter a glimpse of Byzantium under its Russian name.

About the Author

John Riley was born in Leeds in 1937 and served in the Royal Air Force from 1956 to 1958 as a National Serviceman. He read English at Pem-broke 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 the Grosseteste 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.
