Aanderaa's 1966 Hansen på jorden has been described as "one of the few collections of concrete poetry in Norwegian literature". [5] She followed it with a novella, Tidssignalet (1967) and another book of poetry, Til (1969). [2] Her fourth and final book was published in 2024: Rat-a-tat-tat! has the subtitle Nye og gamle dikt [New and old poems] and includes work from her three earlier books and previously unpublished work, with an afterword by Eldrid Lunden.

After 1969 she was said to have "withdrawn from the literary spotlight", [3] but on her 90th birthday in 2024 she was described as "one of the great avant-gardists of her generation". [8]
