World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker’s latest collection, Wonderful, 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

World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker is a poet and a maths graduate. His work has been shared on TED.com and viewed by millions online, but is even better in person. He has performed in enough places around to world to have worked out that Margate is in fact the best of the lot, which is where he now lives and writes and tries to psych himself up to swim in the sea, even when it’s really cold. As he releases his third collection Wonderful alongside a new show and tour of the same name, the maths-loving, TED-talking, German-speaking, battle-rapping, happy-crying, self-bio-writing unashamed human brings his signature playfulness and poignancy that has made him a fan favourite and reached millions of people all over the world. He’s honestly just thrilled to still be doing what he loves, and to find that others are loving it too.
