| Abstract | "Johnson was one the most prolific female writers of the Harlem Renaissance, and while scholars have critically examined her four previously published collections of poetry (The Heart of a Woman [1918], Bronze [1922], An Autumn Love Cycle [1928], and Share My World [1962]), they have never engaged the unpublished book, After A Thousand Tears: A Negro Woman's Verse (c. 1947). Jimmy Worthy "discovered" the unpublished work housed in Emory University's Stuart A. Rose Library while doing research for his doctorate in literature at the university. It seems that while Johnson intended to publish Tears with Padma Press in 1947, the book was never, in fact, published. The forty-eight-page volume features thirty-nine poems and a period introduction by Anglo-Indian anthropologist Cedric Dover. (There is also a document that offers "Suggestions for Printer" from Johnson.)"-- Provided by publisher. |
