About this book

This gathering brings together the verse of Georgia Douglas Johnson, one of the central voices of the Harlem Renaissance. Across collections such as The Heart of a Woman (1918), Bronze (1922), and An Autumn Love Cycle (1928), she wrote with a spare lyric grace about love and longing, the inner life of women, and the weight and dignity of being Black in America. Her poems are quiet but unflinching, finding in ordinary feeling a way to speak of larger constraint and stubborn hope. From her Washington home she also opened her doors to a generation of Black writers. This edition collects the poetry that made her reputation, free to read as a PDF and EPUB edition.
