Georgia Blanche Douglas Camp Johnson published four collections of poetry. Her first volume, The Heart of a Woman, includes an introduction by William Stanley Braithwaite, who Johnson credited with inspiring her to write in the first place. Braithwaite states in the introduction that Johnson's poems are "intensely feminine and for me this means more than anything else that they are deeply human." He compares her poetry to music and song which is fitting given that Johnson was a formally trained musician having attended the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. She studied piano, voice and harmony and taught herself to play the violin

Poet, playwright, and short-fiction writer Georgia Douglas Johnson (1877-1966) was a central figure in the New Negro Movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Her Washington literary salon, the Round Table, was frequented by such artists and intellectuals as Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Countee Cullen, and Angelina Weld Grimke. This volume collects some of Johnson's most important work: four volumes of poetry (including The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems); four short stories (one never before published); eight plays (two never before published); and previously unpublished poems from her private papers. In addition, Claudia Tate's revealing introduction offers newly discovered information on Johnson's life and work
