Riley’s poems long for the “afterwhiles,” the cool country retreats we promise ourselves beyond the city’s heat. The collection moves from “Lockerbie Street” and “The Beautiful City” to the German-dialect “Herr Weiser,” a home-made fairy tale, a glimpse of Pan in a summer wood and many fond backward looks at childhood.
