Poems written in collaboration with Tim Longville, circa 1966-1970
Scope and Contents
Riley and Tim Longville collaborated on several poems and poem-sequences. These were afterwards gathered into a typescript collection with the overall title ‘Common Objects’, sub-divided into four sections: ‘Common Objects’, ‘The Lou poems’, ‘The Civil War’ and ‘A Legend of St. Anthony’.
