Writers
The College’s Sutherland Library has works listed to
more than fifteen authors (of fiction, poetry,
scholarship) who were students of Gonzaga.
The earliest published,
‘Early Morning Matins’
(Gallery Books, 1972), is by
MacDara Woods (ˊ59), on
the left of this Gonzaga
photo taken in 1950-ˊ51
As it happens, he is not the first to have been
published. The community history proudly records the
publication during May, 1964, for the first time, of the
writings of a Past Pupil – ‘The Voyage’, a volume
of poetry by Tim Webb (ˊ60), later a professor of
English at Bristol University. Winner of a scholarship
in Classics to TCD, some of his poems had won
prizes prior to this publication – an American poetry
award and one an Irish Times prize for poetry.
Subsequent volumes of the Record will list
other authors and their works.
