Lauris Dorothy Edmond (April 2, 1924 - January 28, 2000) was a New Zealand poet and writer. Born in Hawke's Bay, she survived the 1931 Napier earthquake as a child. Trained as a teacher, Edmond raised a family before publishing the poetry she had privately written throughout her life. Since her first book, In Middle Air, written in 1975, she published many volumes of poetry, a novel, an autobiography (Hot October, 1989) and several plays. Her Selected Poems (1984) won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize.
