Poetry

Step into the vibrant, often turbulent, world of Georgia Douglas Johnson, a pivotal voice of the Harlem Renaissance whose Washington D.C. home became a legendary salon for Black literary giants. This comprehensive collection gathers her published poetry, showcasing the breadth of her genius. From the tender explorations of love, nature, and the intricate emotional landscape of womanhood found in *The Heart of a Woman* and *An Autumn Love Cycle*, to the unflinching gaze at racial injustice and the Black experience in *Bronze*, Johnson masterfully navigates both universal human themes and the specific struggles of her time. Beyond these seminal works, this edition compiles her other public domain poems, offering a complete portrait of an essential American poet.
