McGraw, Brandon Williamson has helped to engage a resurgence of poetry in the Buffalo area. Pure Ink Poetry continues to develop a collective community of poets, artists and performers while providing a creative and encouraging space for open mics and a fun and competitive setting for slams.Community outreachPure Ink Poetry has been invited to perform and conduct workshops for diversity events like, but not limited to, cultural festivals, LGBTQA awareness events, social justice events, community advancement events and fundraisers. Pure Ink Poetry has worked with a variety of community organizations that include Big Brother/Big Sisters, Crossroads Springs- Africa, Hispanic Women's League, Music is Art Festival and Artvoice just to name a few. At every event, we have guests who have never experienced our style of performance poetry. Being a novel form of expression to them, many of our community members are exposed to an art form they did not consider as a possibility.
