2015 is set to be a good year for spoken word artist PolarBear.

Real name Steven Camden, the poet originally hails from Birmingham, but now having settled in London, is preparing to stage his debut play Back Down - a coming of age tale about three best friends attempting to climb Mount Snowdon - at the Roundhouse as part of The Last Word festival in May. Already a hit with youngsters, Polarbear makes a point of sharing his skills with young people through school writing and performance projects. And, if that wasn't enough, June sees HarperCollins publish his second novel, It's About Love, aimed at the YA audience.
