	VG: Artist Biography: Johnson, Helene
		Helen (Helene) Johnson was born to William and Ella Johnson in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 7, 1906.
		Johnson and her cousin Dorothy West, who would become a successful Harlem Renaissance novelist, were drawn to the vibrancy of Harlem and moved to New York in 1927.
		Johnson’s contribution to published poetry declined, and her presence was practically erased from the public’s eye.

	This Waiting for Love: Helene Johnson, Poet of the Harlem Renaissance. - book review African American Review - Find ...
		According to her, Johnson's extended family formed "a kibbutz, a commune," pitching in to secure educational advantages for their shared children: One aunt took care of the children, including Johnson and West, "while the other [mothers] went to work as maids." Johnson began winning literary prizes in 1925, at nineteen years of age.
		Johnson published thirty-four poems in a range of forms and voices, receiving considerable acclaim for her accomplishments as one of the finest and most promising figures of the Harlem Renaissance, before fading from the literary scene.
		Although certain of Johnson's poems have recurred in anthologies, many of the periodicals that once featured her work are now rare, and therefore a good portion of her poems had not been reprinted until now.

	On Georgia Douglas Johnson's Poetry
		However, beneath Johnson's ostensible concern with the "intensely feminine" "secrets of a woman's nature" (Braithwaite, vii and ix) is her persistent depiction of a soaring human imagination, her own.
		Johnson's preoccupation with the emotional tenor of the female domain suggests that she used The Heart of a Woman and her projection of feminine comportment to solicit the appellation and role of "the lady poet" for herself in the unfolding drama of the New Negro Renaissance.
		Johnson's emphatically self-determined feminine voice, subject matter, and demeanor also invited early anthologists to regard her work as feminine effusion and to segregate the work of other women writers similarly.

	On "Street Lamps in Early Spring"
		Like many of their female contemporaries, both Bennett and Johnson were drawn to what might be called the "nightwoman" poem—simply, a poem in which night and woman are rendered in terms of each other.
		When the speaker chooses night, as she inevitably must, it is for the calm unity that emanates from that domain's central organizing presence, the moon.
		Johnson's poem thus extends the reach of the nightwoman metaphor to encompass culture itself, newly defined as feminine and African American.

	Washingtonpost.com: Poet's Choice
		Helene Johnson (1907-1995) was one of the youngest of the poets associated with the Harlem Renaissance, that flowering of fl expression in music, art and literature that accompanied the influx of fl Americans who left the rural South in favor of jobs and opportunity in the cities of the North.
		Helene Johnson proved herself a lyricist of utmost delicacy yet steely precision; restraint attends her every meditation on love, race and loss.
		And yet one senses that the spirit of this woman is not easily subdued; for she rejects the conventional well-kept grave (as well as, one could extrapolate, the well-kept life) and asks that the vegetation be allowed to grow unchecked -- "riotous, rampant, wild and free." Helene Johnson was hardly a blushing flower.

	Jim's Reviews - Sex in Chains (Geschlecht in Fesseln) (Dieterle / 1928)
		I'm not sure whether this problem should be attributed to Johnson (who left acting the same year as this film; she was for a time the wife of Fritz Lang's frequent star, Rudolf Klein-Rogge), the two screenwriters, or to Dieterle – or all three.
		Here florid image and gesture (especially Helene and the suicidal prisoner) are counterparts to the opera's music and gesture, all in melodramatic support of a "social problem:" the issue of vendettas in Mascagni, the lack of conjugal prison visits here.
		Through Helene's believable slip of the tongue, Sommer implicitly understands that she has had an affair with Steinau, whom he knew and liked during their brief time together in a holding cell.
