Pauline Johnson - Selected Poetry and Prose

Johnson was an unusual and unique presence on the literary scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She drew on her gender and her unique origins to develop a unique perspective in her lyrical poems and her recounting of Native myths and legends.

About the author
