A member of the Florida group, which also included figures such as Oliverio Girondo (whom she married in 1943) and Jorge Luis Borges (who dedicated an article to her in his first book of prose, Inquisiciones), she published in the "ultraist" magazines Prisma, Proa and Martín Fierro.
Her ultramodernist poetry influenced other well-known Argentine writers such as Nydia Lamarque, Maria Elena Walsh, Maria Dhialma Tiberti, and Ines Malinow.
Her 1950 novel Personas en la sala, was published in the English as People in the Room in 2018.
In 1958, SADE (the Argentine Society of writers) awarded her their Grand Prize of Honor.
