BOX is an adaptation of McGrath's eponymous "mirror poem"—a collaboration of poetry, jazz, spoken word, instrumental experimental music, and voice.
Recurring Fictions (University of Alberta Press 2002), McGrath's first novel, is an experimental work chronicling the history of a Canadian family.
The often poetic style of this novel is multi-layered with spaces in the text and on pages providing literal and figurative openings for the reader to enter the world of the narrator(s).
Her first book of poetry, common place ecstasies (Beach Holme Publishing, 2000), explores themes of home, and childhood.
"Preserving" uses found portions of text extracted from a home canning pamphlet as a springboard for poetic narrative that tells the multi-generational story of prairie women.
