Lives in Greenwich Village and associates with the 'Others' group
Poet involved
What happened
Johns lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, during the formative years of American modernism, associating with the artist's colony at Grantwood, New Jersey, and contributing to Alfred Kreymborg's magazine Others: A Magazine of the New Verse.
Literary impact
This period immersed Johns in the avant-garde poetry movement, where he experimented with free verse alongside some of the most innovative poets of the era. His work 'Olives,' a series of fourteen small poems published in the first issue of Others in July 1915, exemplified the new style and cemented his place within this influential literary coterie.
