History
Lauris Edmond is one of New Zealand's most distinguished poets. Her career has been extraordinarily compressed. Born in 1924, she did not publish her first collection in 1975. Since then, eleven major titles have appeared, plus "An Autobiography" in three volumes. Her Selected Poems won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize in 1985.
