World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker's latest collection is his most ambitious yet. Following on from the success of Unashamed (Burning Eye, 2022), Harry Baker combines the insight of a mathematician and the vulnerability of the poet to find wonder in the little things that make life so precious. From a poem about wellies becoming an exploration of masculinity, a poem planning his own funeral inspiring thousands around the world to do the same, or a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer literally just being a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer, The combination of grief and joy in recent poems has led to Harry being described as the Barbenheimer of the poetry world (by himself, but he is hoping it catches on).

Industry Reviews

'Harry Baker's way with words is entirely fascinating. His Mathematical genius meets with the wonder of a golden retriever let loose on the beach.' Donna Ashworth

'Really bloody good, couldn't put it down. I laughed, I cried, I took it to the loo with me when I needed a wee!' Helen Heckerty

'Harry's Gift is that he makes us all feel less alone. Once you read his words or listen to his poems, they stay with you forever. They walk alongside you, however bumpy the road. His words are there; they put their arm around you and stroll perfectly in time with your heart beat.' James Corden
