Tender | A Collection of Poems on New Fatherhood | Harry Baker

We are really happy to share Harry Baker's collection of poems, Tender with you all.  Harry is an excellent poet, and his observations of life as a new dad manage to encompass the funny, profound, and mundane of new parenthood perfectly.

Harry Baker is World Poetry Slam Champion and can be seen live, touring around the UK.

Full of sleepless wonder and with his characteristic wit and warmth, Harry Baker offers snapshots into the intense first 100 days with his son as they get to know each other.

A yawn from a tiny pink mouth, a kind word from a stranger on a difficult day, the weight of a body sleeping against your chest – parents will recognise both themselves and their children in Tender and find consolation in this collection.

Unofficial Blurb:

I wrote a poem a day for the first 100 days of my sons life, and it is a miracle to me that it is a physical thing you can now hold in your hands. Featuring poppadoms, horses, and curling up in a ball crying, It’s my most personal work yet and I’m really proud and so excited for it to be out in the world, thank you in advance for helping it on its way x
