Unashamed
Burning Eye Books (Verlag)
978-1-913958-37-4 (ISBN)
Unashamed follows the journey of World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker from graduating with a maths degree being unsure if this poetry thing was even possible, to becoming one of the nation’s favourite poets and having his work viewed by millions all over the globe.
A collection of poems taken from sold out shows combined with new work written at a time when that was no longer possible. From the joyful creativity of German compound words to having his prime number poetry shared on TED.com, it took Harry far too long to realise that maths has been as much a part of his work as the poetry. That both are about figuring out the world around us, finding wonder in your surroundings, and searching for connection wherever you can.
From school bullying through climate change, via a healthy obsession with falafels and a 10,000th birthday, Harry's love of language and logic has got him through marathons, a cancer diagnosis and potentially ruined his wife’s chances of getting a job in an ice cream shop. Unashamed is a book of heart, humour and hope. It shows what happens when you’re truly able to celebrate all the parts of yourself.
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.
