The book reveals that the poet never considered himself to be a success until late in his life after he had been bestowed with many honors. The author also points out that Riley could never handle his own financial problems; thus during his early career he incurred heavy debts, although he was acquiring much fame. Later in life he solved this problem by having others handle his money.
