Wonderful

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.

'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
