She is best known for her modernist novel Nightwood, a 1936 lesbian classic, though she published little afterward due to alcoholism. Creatures was her last work, and was initially conceived as a bestiary for children, although an adult may appreciate it more.

"When hovering, the Hummingbird
Is always going home (it's said).
By flying in a single spot
It's striving fast to think it's not."
