Poet
Ann Arbor Poet Leslie McGraw is the creative inspiration behind the Bookbound Open Mic & Share Poetry Series and the Life By Poetry online community. Leslie’s honors include The Leaven Center’s Eleanor S. Morrison Scholarship for Creative Writing for Social Justice and 4th place Women of World Poetry Competition. She is currently working on a 2nd edition of her debut poetry collection, Emergencies of the Heart, as well as a new chapbook.
Emerging Literary Activist
Leslie began sorting out her surroundings through writing at the age of 9. She discovered her voice through the pen, maturing into a performance poet, blogger, writer, and journalist. Today she lends this voice to advocacy, where she is passionate about helping others share their stories of struggle and victory as an empowering tool to restore and strengthen communities.
Testimonials
Nurturing, Soaring Spirits
Thanks, Leslie for nurturing poetry in our community and region--poetry seems just a small thing, like a mother dove roosting in her nest. But it has the power to make our spirits soar--and soaring spirits have the power to change this world.

Ability to Think Outside the Box
In addition to her strong work ethic, Leslie possesses many valuable skills and personal strengths that contribute to her success, including: creativity and the ability to think outside the box; and, most importantly for us, a willingness to be an effective team player.
Amy Nesbitt General Manager, Ann Arbor Summer Festival
Leslie is a wonderful resource.
My blog "wouldn't exist" if it weren't for her. As a technically challenged person, I wouldn't know where to start. She completed the initial set-up, fully demonstrated the technology along the way - and demonstrated it again when I forgot. An ongoing process. She has given me brief, concise instructions on how to fix glitches with the Microsoft Word Suite of products. I call them glitches, she calls them learning opportunities. Several times I said "I didn't know it could do that" when she helped me reach beyond the scope of my technical imagination. She does all this with professionalism, patience and good humor. She is a treasure, both personally and professionally.
