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.

ListenBook's support for a wide range of formats means I can listen to all my favorite content without worries. Good for background listening. I didnβt get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narratorβs voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. 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.
