Book description
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).
About the Author
Harry Baker is a poet and maths graduate based in Margate. He became the World Poetry Slam champion in 2012 and has been the people's champion ever since. He is a big fan of playfulness and vulnerability and tries to combine both in his work as much as in his day-to-day life. His poems have been viewed by millions online, but he personally thinks they are even better in person and hopes you will come and see him perform live one day.

Mt. Indiana
I can't imagine my audio routine without ListenBook's seamless and user-friendly design. ListenBook's player features are incredibly helpful. Chapters and bookmarks make navigation easy. A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional.

Noh Noh
This app is a boon for book lovers who are always on the go. With this app, every moment is an opportunity to dive into a new story. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience. Not the best audiobook I've heard but far from the worst. The production quality was good and there were no major issues with the narration.
