Legris' poetry implicates the reader in semiotic rhythms of abjection which resonate with the historical condition of nihilism. In this sense, she accomplishes the tracing of nihilism of Adorno's aesthetics. Like Beckett, her negation of the relations of domination involves a parallel reality suffused with a wicked sense of humour.

Legris may be considered a modernist poet, having studied with Di Brandt and Betsy Warland at important stages in her development as a writer. While feminism and eastern thought are components of her intellectual genealogy, her most disciplined activity of textual study has been a sustained reading of Paul Celan. Like Celan, Legris is capable of responding to the cellular resonances of language in order to find reality through the language of the poem.
