Nightwood is not only a classic of modernist literature, but was also acknowledged by T. S. Eliot as one of the great novels of the 20th century. Eliot admired Djuna Barnes' rich, evocative language. Barnes told a friend that Nightwood was written with her own blood 'while it was still running.' That flowing wound was the breakup of an eight-year relationship with the love of her life. Now recognised as a twentieth-century classic, the influence of Djuna Barnes's novel has been, and continues to be, exceptional.

Verše o anjeloch. Autorka kniky prekonala ťažkú chorobu v časoch, keď sa vyliečenie z nej pokladalo za malý zázrak a lekári jej dávali len pol roka života. Silu a energiu, ktoré v sebe vtedy našla, teraz rozdáva ďalej. V knihe približuje svet pozemských anjelov, ktorí majú pomôcť zmeniť ľudstvo. Nazvala ich zaviati anjeli, pretože sú akoby zaviati pozemským prachom, ktorý zahaľuje ich anjelskú podstatu. Zaviati alebo pozemskí anjeli sú podľa nej bytosti z vyšších sfér, ktoré sa narodili do obyčajného fyzického tela a ktorých hlavnou úlohou je nenásilným spôsobom meniť ľudí okolo seba. Rozdiel medzi pozemskými a nebeskými anjelmi spočíva v tom, že nebeskí sú veľmi blízko Boha, ich vedomie je stabilne rozšírené a ich vibrácie sú vysoké. Pozemskí majú závoj zabudnutia, pretože prišli do hmoty. Stratili aj svoju bývalú vysokú frekvenciu, ale zažili už Boží dotyk, a na ten nezabudnú. Zaviati anjeli podľa Viery Černuškovej žijú medzi nami napriek tomu, že sú to pôvodom nebeské bytosti. Ako deti bývajú tichší, menej priebojní a nikdy sa nepridávajú k drastickým hrám, ako napríklad týranie zvierat. Od malička majú veľký hlad po učení a poznaní. Súčasne sú citliví, zraniteľní a rýchlo sa dokážu uzatvoriť do seba...
