Wallace returned to Kingston in the late 1970s, and continued her volunteer work with women's organizations. Her work at Interval House, a Kingston women's shelter, was of particular influence. Wallace also began to teach courses in creative writing at both St. Lawrence College and Queen's University, and went on to help found the Women's Studies department at the latter.

Her first collection of poetry, Marrying into the Family, was published in 1980, and was printed and bound together with Mary di Michele's Bread and Chocolate. She published three more collections of poetry over the next seven years: Signs of the Former Tenant (Oberon, 1983), Common Magic (Oberon, 1985), and The Stubborn Particulars of Grace (McClelland & Stewart, 1987).
