Description
Polarbear is one of the most influential poets of his generation. The work collected here is the work that made his name. These poems have racked up hundreds of thousands of views online, lodging themselves in the hearts and minds of readers and audiences alike. His particular gift is for the many kinds of music a line can contain. He marries the intricate, compulsive, rhyming strategies of rap with the schanachie's gift for telling a story and the saxophonist's flair for bending the possibilities of sound.
Reviews
In an ideal world, Birmingham-born storyteller Polarbear (aka Steven Camden) would be cloned and sent into every school and theatre in the land -- Scotsman, Imaginate festival review
