Her poems are intricate verbal transfigurations of significant experiences as revealed, in two of her much anthologized pieces, "Lament for the Littlest Fellow" and "Bonsai." As fictionist, Tiempo is as morally profound. Her language has been marked as "descriptive but unburdened by scrupulous detailing." She has made a significant impact on Philippine Literature in English, becoming a foundational figure in the field. In collaboration with her late husband, Edilberto K. Tiempo, a respected writer and critic, they initiated the Silliman National Writers Workshop in Dumaguete City in 1962. Under their leadership, this workshop has been instrumental in developing some of the most acclaimed writers in the Philippines.
