Harry Baker: Tender
As in ripe for the taking.
As in a heart swelled to twice its size.
As in soft. As in delicious. As in ready.
World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker brings his characteristic warmth, wit and wonder to new parenthood. From introducing his baby to a horse for the first time, to trying to work out if the GP really did drop them on purpose to test their reflexes, Tender contains poems from the first hundred days of new life and celebrates all of the euphoria, panic and vulnerability that come with it. Following on from the last two years’ 40-date sellout runs of Wonderful and Wonderful 2.0, he’ll even slip in some non-baby bangers too. Expect more laughter and tears than ever.
