Zaccheus Jackson's Slam Poetry Performance at Fraser Heights

Zaccheus Jackson, also known as "East Van ghetto poet" Is a slam poet who has participated in numerous poetry slam competitions such as the Individual World Poetry Slam and the Inaugural Canadian Individual Poetry Slam. He visited Fraser Heights Secondary to give his performance to students. He quickly made the audience comfortable by starting off with some humorous jokes and small talk also asking questions such as "Does your mother buy your underwear?" to be relatable to the audience. He gave some history about himself, how he grew up, going through addiction, where he is presently in life, and started with a poem. His poems were beautifully recited, he had strong expressions and meaningful words. The rhythm was unique and his tone was varied. He made a point about memorizing poems and also gave background on slam poetry itself. He ended his performance with a light-hearted tone and left the stage.
