Trainor's work is particularly concerned with grief and memory. Her first book Karyotype was published by Brick Books in 2015. George Elliot Clarke described the book as a "recollection of the organized violence that is war and/or tyranny" and noted that the book's focus on remembrance placed her in the lineage of World War One poet John McCrae.[3] Trainor's second book Ledi[4] was published by Book*hug. Focusing on the controversial excavation of the Siberian Ice Maiden, the book continues the poet's elegiac themes,[5] with a focus on the Iron Age horsewoman's role in society.[6] The book was a finalist for the 2019 Raymond Souster Award presented by the League of Canadian Poets.[7] Her most recent work has focused on ecological grief and resilience.[8] A thin fire runs through me will appear with icehouse press (Gooselane Editions) in 2023.[9]
