Markus Wylie
Poet
Markus Wylie has made history as the youngest performer ever to advance to the semifinal round of the First Citizens National Poetry Slam. He is a Standard 4 student at Scarborough Methodist Primary School in Tobago. As a 10 year old, though new to poetry, he fearlessly lets his words be heard, crafting rhythmic rhymes that paint a clear picture. He is a passionate young poet on a journey of self-expression through words.
