In 2005, she won Germany's Hubert Burda Prize for young East European poets. In 2014, The New Yorker published Ristović’s “Snow in Your Shoes”, translated by Steven and Maja Teref, and later listed it as one of their 15 poetry highlights for the year.[8][9]
In addition to poetry, Ristović writes essays and literary criticism.[7] She is also a translator from the Slovenian language, from which she has so far translated more than twenty books of contemporary prose and poetry.[10]
