Knutson was a productive writer, publishing essays of art criticism, and, only sporadically, poems.[1].She wrote in both Swedish and French.[2] Late in her life, she also authored novellas and prose poetry fragments.[3] Together with poet Gunnar Ekelöf, she translated works of Swedish literature into French,[3] but her own poetry was never issued as a volume during her lifetime.[2] “The story of the cliffside path/Will be a path that licks the flagstone/Will lift its hand toward the iron/ Path to the broken porch shelter of the pursued/ night came morning gone/toward the gentle flock and the boat sleeping/ against the temple of the riverbank.”, an excerpt of her poem, translated from French, that originally was in Le Surrealisme ASDLR.[2].
