After receiving an education in Castilian, in the first years after the Spanish Civil War she encountered an environment where, for the first time, Valencian occupied a prominent position.
This education, straddling the two cultures of the Castilian learned in Madrid and her native Valencian, explains Maria Beneyto's literary bilingualism.
[2] In 1993 she published her Antología poética and the collections Tras sepulta la ternura and Poemas de las cuatro estaciones, as well as three collections in Castilian: Archipiélago (unpublished poetry 1975–1993), Nocturnidad y alevosía y Hojas para algún día de noviembre, and an Antología poética.
Throughout her literary career, Beneyto's work had been anthologized in several poetry collections, including Las voces de la medusa (1991), Paisaje emergente.
This places her as one of the main figures – along with Vicent Andrés Estellés, Carmelina Sánchez-Cutillas [ca], and Joan Fuster – of the Valencian poetic generation of the 1950s.
