Johnson writes most often in free verse on topics generally revolving around femininity and the commodification of female bodies. Her writing has been described as both "snarky" and "vulnerable" as it discusses and critiques American cultural norms and the societal expectations of women.[17] Her poems also make frequent pop culture references to prominent figures including Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop,[18] Justin Bieber, and Victoria's Secret.[17] Johnson has stated that she draws inspiration from Gurlesque poets like Chelsey Minnis and Mary Biddinger.[9]
