When Harry Baker first started writing rap infused poetry he was advised to "write about what you know" so instead of writing about killing people, or driving fast cars (over people), he wrote about mathematics.

It is not all complex maths and algebra however but throughout Harry applies his mathematician's mind to conjuring complex rhythms that have to be read out loud to be believed.

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.
