Welcome to the Scholar Gypsies. My name is Gerry O'Neill and I am a writer & publisher on Substack of The West's Awake. The Scholar Gypsies is an interview series with creatively minded people from Ireland and around the world.
The channel is inspired by a verse from the Matthew Arnold poem The Scholar-Gipsy
" And near me on the grass lies Glanvil's book—
Come, let me read the oft-read tale again!
The story of the Oxford scholar poor,
Of pregnant parts and quick inventive brain,
Who, tired of knocking at preferment's door,
One summer-morn forsook
His friends, and went to learn the gipsy-lore,
And roam'd the world with that wild brotherhood,
And came, as most men deem'd, to little good,
But came to Oxford and his friends no more "
I am new to video publishing so have patience with me!
