Hargrave's poetry has appeared internationally in journals such as Magma, Room, Agenda, Shearsman, The Irish Literary Review and Orbis. In 2013, Neil Astley judged her poem 'Grace' winner of the Yeovil Literary Prize. This poem appears in her third collection, Splitfish (Gatehouse Press, 2013). Her first piece as a playwright, about human trafficking, was entitled "BOAT", and first dramatized in October 2015 by PIGDOG theatre company at Theatre N16 in Balham. It opened to five star reviews, with CultureFly calling it 'the most compelling and urgent piece of theatre you will see this year.'
