Amanda M. Edmond

Amanda Maria Corey Edmond (October 24, 1824 – May 30, 1862) was an American poet and children's writer.

In May 1844 she married Boston merchant James Edmond, with whom she had six children, two sons and four daughters.

[2] Edmond died of consumption, and was interred in Brookline's Walnut Street Cemetery.

[1] Edmond began writing poetry in her youth, and produced a large body of work between the ages of fourteen and twenty; some of these pieces were published posthumously, to be shared with acquaintances.

In 1845 appeared The Broken Vow and Other Poems, a copy of which was sent to hymnwriter James Montgomery; his response compared her work with that of Felicia Hemans and Joanna Baillie.
