Lourne and Lucadie, with Other Poems is an 1880 poetry collection by C. Willard Hemenway, published when the author was still a teenager. Hemenway later transitioned into a colorful and controversial career in 19th-century journalism, particularly during the Mormon-Gentile conflicts in Utah. His subsequent experiences led him to write the 1887 memoir Memoirs of My Day: In and Out of Mormondom, portions of which were famously drafted while he was imprisoned.
