Weeks later, Corbet won his first Grand Slam Championship in Mesa, Arizona. After being named, "Slam Artist of the Year" by his local venue, Corbet took his second championship in 2001. In 2002, Corbet placed second in the nation at the National Poetry Slam in Minneapolis, MN.
In the months that followed, Corbet became a popular feature at poetry venues throughout the country. His shows included performances at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in NYC, the Berzerkeley Slam in San Francisco, and the National Poetry Slam in Chicago. Corbet's 2003 performance at the Bowery Poetry Club later appeared on the Best of Urbana, 2003 compact disc. At the National Slam in 2005, Corbet repeated another "top ten" finish.
In all, Corbet has won a total of six local slam titles. His recent victory at the Essenza Championship ensured that he will perform at his third Individual World Poetry Slam in February of 2006. After releasing three collections of prose, editing a benefit anthology, and producing a new DVD film, Corbet has seen his work appear in The Arizona Republic, Freedom To Speak (Wordsmith Press), Poems from the Big Muddy (Wordsmith Press), & An Idiot's Guide to Slam Poetry (Alpha Books).
