'Harry Baker's way with words is entirely fascinating' DONNA ASHWORTH

'A charming, fun, funny, revelatory, relatable wordsmith' RAYMOND ANTROBUS

Tender captures all the tiny, fragile, perfect moments of new life and, with it, new parenthood. Full of sleepless wonder and with his characteristic wit and warmth, Harry Baker offers snapshots into the intense first 100 days with his son as they get to know each other.

A yawn from a tiny pink mouth, a kind word from a stranger on a difficult day, the weight of a body sleeping against your chest - parents will recognise both themselves and their children in Tender and find consolation in this collection.

About the Author

Harry Baker has loved words from a young age and been a full-time poet since graduating from Bristol with a maths degree in 2015. He became the youngest ever Poetry World Slam Champion in 2012 and his third collection, Wonderful, was published in 2024 alongside a 40-date sell-out tour of the same name, which has been extended into 2025. He lives and writes and swims and runs and takes his baby to nice coffee shops in Margate.
