Michael McGrath, writer
Michael McGrath is originally from Canmore, Alberta, back when it was just a grubby little coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies and not the posh mountain resort it is today. Until his retirement Michael was a high school PE teacher in Calgary and, having since married an American, he now splits his time between Calgary and Chicago. In addition to holding a green card, he’s a dual citizen of Canada and Ireland. His essays have also appeared in The Bookends Review, Rocky Mountain Outlook, The Penmen Review, and Adelaide Literary Magazine.

In his personal essay, Stayin’ Alive, Michael McGrath recounts his childhood in Canmore, Alberta; navigating the experience of after-school jobs in a grubby little coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies.
