Ned O'Gorman was a poet and, at the time of writing, on the editorial staff of the Catholic magazine, Jubilee. His poetry has been described as having "bejeweled" language and baroque imagery, influenced by his Catholic faith. He was also interested in social justice, starting a library and school serving primarily African-American children in Harlem in 1966. (Source: "O'Gorman, Ned." World Authors. 1975.
