Poetry by Danita Johnson

from Present Poetry · host Erynn Crittenden

When Danita Johnson speaks, the room leans in.Her poems don’t whisper — they grab you by the skin.Rooted in radiance, unapologetically Black,she’s rewriting the stories they tried to hold back.An educator, a healer, a voice for the unheard,she turns survival into syllables, pain into word.Danita writes to build, to awaken, to stay —not just as a guest, but a force here to stay.
