Julian Orde (31 December 1917 – 1974) was a female English poet, writer and actor.
[3] She had poems included in Kenneth Rexroth's 1948 anthology The New British Poets, in whose biographical notes - as well as claiming to be a couple of years younger - she says she 'was on the stage for six years, but now writes for films and radio'.
[4] Her 1946 poem The Changing Wind was included in the 1968 Penguin anthology Poetry of the Forties.
In 1963 she wrote an episode of ATV’s Drama '63 series entitled The Lady And The Clerk.
[7][8] Her death, in 1974 aged 56,[9] moved fellow poet David Wright to compose On A Friend Dying.
