| Her words can silence a room. Adrienne Nadeau, 26, has always identified herself as a writer . . . as a student studying writing at the University of Tampa, she narrowed her focus to spoken word poetry. One night after a poetry performance in Ybor City, she was mugged and beaten . . .

| Take pride in the fact that you're starving for your dream, that you're a bohemian, that you don't play by the rules. When you decide to support yourself through YOUR art, YOU become a business. You have to be prepared . . . This doesn't mean I'm not starving. I'm literally hungry right now. But I like to think I'm better at starving then most people. May 2010 | S . L . A .

She brings together the whole pier. 4 - 22 - 10 | Beat Righter - Christian Lemus "Shoutout: A Woman Gorton of the World" |
| Inside the prison, the poets paced with eyes closed, murmuring stanzas into the air . . . searching for the right poem for the occasion. One hundred fifty men in blue scrubs filled the pews around them. The chaplain said a prayer, an inmate offered an introduction and then the first poet stepped up. 11 - 28 - 09 | The St. Petersburg Times - Dalia Colon "Prisoners Find Inspiration In Each Other" |
| Words fly through the air like bullets on a battlefield, but there is no harmful intent to them. These words are meant to enlighten and entertain. This is the English language at its finest. This is HCC’s poetry slam, and poetry lovers got their first taste of the art and attitude of spoken word. 11 - 27 - 09 | The Hawkeye - Trevor Wood "New Contest Is A Poetry Slam Dunk" |
| Stereotypes in America asks questions that are usually taboo, that aren’t discussed in polite company. Based on real-life experiences of Adrienne’s friends, the play discusses the shades of gray in our thinking about stereotypes. Theater like this starts a conversation. For a moment, it jolts your world. 5 - 04 - 09 | Creative Loafing - Sally Bosco "Review: Stereotypes In America" |

| A month after the attack, with the scar tissue still thick inside her mouth . . . she was invited back to Ybor City to recite her poetry . . . Nadeau's arms float up and down like she's conducting an orchestra . . . Fear leaves her through her words, and she is powerful. From the back, like an amen in a church, someone says, "Speak." 8 - 23 - 07 | T. B. T - Elizabeth Dyer "Poet Finds Strength In Her Stanzas" |
