Marc Kelly Smith, Founder of the Poetry Slam:

"With its success and media exposure, the slam has inadvertantly spawned many slick tongued poet/performers copycatting styles they've pulled off the TV screens, more concerned with fashion than truth. Not so with Corbet Dean. His work arises from the life he's lived, and his style and words he employs are authentic reflections of that life. He is an example of slam's original intention: to give voice to people from all walks of life and to find a choir of truth in what we all say."
