preserving
by Wendy McGrath
The appropriated portions of preserving were taken from an old, well-worn home canning pamphlet produced by a power company. McGrath’s grandmother gave her that brochure and it was a palimpsest of sorts, with notes on the recipes and unexpected doodles penciled in. Publications like that brochure, as well as cookbooks, seemed to be in the background of her grandmothers’ and her mother’s lives when she was growing up. But, when she encountered these texts as an adult, their meaning became quite different.
