Wendy McGrath

Wendy McGrath

Wendy McGrath is a poet and novelist from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her work exhibits elements of experimental fiction, including stream of consciousness techniques, and both narrative and chronological shifts.

Her first book of poetry, "common place ecstasies", published by Vancouver's Beach Holme Publishing (2000), explores themes of place, home, and childhood. Her first novel, "Recurring Fictions" (University of Alberta Press, 2002), follows the childhood of one nameless female character in her search for a definable home, and received the 2003 Alberta Books Award for best design.

McGrath is currently collaborating with printmaker Walter Jule, who also contributed cover art for "common place ecstasies", on a collaborative manuscript of poetry and prints.

McGrath is also currently collaborating with students from Victoria School of Performing and Visual Arts in Edmonton, Alberta to create a film adaptation of "Recurring Fictions". The film is a series of short stories combined into an experimental film named after the book. "Recurring Fictions" is the third in a series entitled "Celebrate Alberta" in which genres collaborate and complement each other to create films that support Alberta and its literature.
