World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker's latest collection is his most ambitious yet. Following on from the success of Unashamed (Burning Eye, 2022), Harry Baker combines the insight of a mathematician and the vulnerability of the poet to find wonder in the little things that make life so precious. From a poem about wellies becoming an exploration of masculinity, a poem planning his own funeral inspiring thousands around the world to do the same, or a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer literally just being a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer, The combination of grief and joy in recent poems has led to Harry being described as the Barbenheimer of the poetry world (by himself, but he is hoping it catches on).

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.

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.

Bargain Bin Rom-Com is the first collection of poems by Leena Norms. From the politics of ice-cream to the permission slip you didn't know you needed, this is a tongue-in-cheek look at living on a planet that is filled with both doom and glitter.

Madeleine Ekezie has done everything right: good job, a step on the housing ladder, successful friends. But she's lost, miserable and deeply lonely. When she discovers the story of The Body - a maybe mythical, definitely magical being who feeds the hungry and soothes the hurt - Maddy blows her life up to find it. She quits her job to hunt through old zines, ignores her parents to pick through abandoned blogs, finding in each entry some truth about The Body.

The Body in Its Seasons is a journal of Maddy's obsession, compiled in footnotes, conversations and diary entries. Maz Hedgehog unpicks the fabric of the poetry collection and reweaves them into a new tapestry of the experiential and lyrical.

We Need to Talk is a poetry collection on sexual violence, survivorship and solidarity. On gender-based violence and genuine social change. On things that are hushed and need to be spoken of with empathy - and fact-checking.

Poet Agnes Török writes honestly and courageously about lived experience and statistical societal structure, inviting the reader to reflect and join in the conversation on how to end gender-based violence. With sections speaking directly to victims and survivors, and directly to friends and family of survivors, We Need To Talk is an empathic engagement with an experience shared by 1 in 3 women, 1 in 2 trans and non-binary people and, 1 in 5 men - sexual violence.

We Need to Talk is a manifesto. A call to arms. A boiling down of statistics into the long-term effects on real people. And a roadmap for how we get out of this mess.

Török speaks about the issues each of us needs to be involved in understanding and solving. The economics and politics that lead to violence becoming normal. The online climate in which gender-based violence becomes recreated and amplified. And the logic by which most of us personally know a victim of sexual assault or abuse, but few of us will believe we know any perpetrators.

Aside from Török's award-winning poetry, the collection also includes writing exercises for survivors of gender-based violence and their friends and family. Because making art is part of speaking. And We Need To Talk.

From reflecting on the complexities of belonging to coming home early for a sandwich at the back of the fridge, The Secrets I Let Slip is a collection of poems that bounce between the personal and political. Inspired by themes of social justice, protest, identity and, on occasion, failed dreams of becoming a rock star, this debut collection from Selina Nwulu considers the beauty and pain of living in a modern age.

Award-winning poet, TED speaker and activist Agnes Török writes with hope and hilarity, exhaustion and empathy about the need to get out of bed and pay the bills and fall in love and over-water the pot plans - all while the revolution needs you. Poetry about all the things we do all those days we aren't campaigning, marching or petitioning. About how we love, how we care, how we create. And how these things give us the resilience to keep resisting. How all that care gives us the strength to keep making the world a better place.

How do we remember those who have died? Why are we so attached to their stuff? Have you ever pictured your own funeral? Erin has. She's pictured yours too. Not everyone will be in black and at least one person will just be there for the buffet. In her debut show, poet and performer Erin Bolens explores our relationship with legacy and loss. Using wit, warmth and funeral tunes, What We Leave Behind tenderly examines the rules and of funerals and grieving.

With two hit Edinburgh Fringe shows under his belt, Bang Said The Gun's Rob Auton delivers his debut collection of poems and stories. In Heaven The Onions Make You Laugh captures the charming, kooky, sideways look at the ordinary and the extraordinary that have gained Rob's live shows a cult following. Through Rob's eyes the world is a magical/beautiful/ridiculous/horrific place to live. It includes the acclaimed A Footballer's Life For Me which was filmed and broadcast as part of Channel 4's Random Acts series.

Rob Auton is an expatriate Yorkshireman living in the alien environment of Walthamstow. He performs regularly all over the UK and is part of London's Bang Said The Gun stand up poetry collective. He has taken two one man shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and hit the headlines in August 2013 when a throwaway gag won the Dave Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh fringe award.

The world has a way of getting into you; these poems document the process of prying it out. Whether that be from an ash tree's trunk or a rabbit's warren, or behind an abandoned shipping container on the way to work, or in a dusty noiseshow basement, Good Listeners leads you through the afterlife of trauma and disability. You will meet many strangers to guide youinto a world where you may suddenly find yourself coping.

In ...and then she ate him Tom Denbigh's wickedly beautiful writing holds up a distorted mirror to the world. Deftly weaving the queer experience with tales of friends and strangers, Tom toys with myth, devilish humour, and absurdity to portray the bizarre and brilliant in the everyday. Imagination is brought to life in this unique collection that is thought-provoking, insightful and startlingly joyous.

Birds emerge from nests of tables/ a fox is lured from buddleia with a fishing line/ an Amazon warehouse proves no match for the written word/ infidelity/ beard envy/ country music/ a boy grows up a bear/ an audience of crows/ gravy boats for hairdos/ 'Bonnie and Clyde' attend a writing workshop/ while criminals are set free/ elephants born without ivory succumb to professional darts players/ and a man falls through the moon. All this and more/ will astound and provoke thought/ amuse and transport/ in this, Ash Dickinson's third main collection/ Instructions For Outlaws.

The Kinsey Scale is an archaic measure of homosexuality on a scale of 0-6, thought up by Dr. Alfred Kinsey in 1948. It ranks queerness with 0 being completely heterosexual, 6 being fully homosexual, and 3 being a perfect split down the middle. But the world is ending, and modern queers are famously bad at numbers. 'Kinsey Scale for the Emotionally Fragile Queer' is a rewriting of the original scale, measured to fit the expansiveness of a generation of queers who have lived from apocalypse to apocalypse. In this Kinsey Scale, our lives are not represented by rigid numbers, but by poetry on queer love, happiness, protest, friendships, and the ability of queers to adapt to a changing world. Our rituals, our families, our romances, there is place for all of them in this tale of resilience and joy.

(Re)framing the Archive delves into Panya Banjoko's personal engagement with museums over two decades, and as the founder of Nottingham Black Archive. Attempting to give space to those voices that are otherwise submerged, and highlighting the disparity in underrepresentation of Black people as curators of their own history. The poems here can be seen as an intentional social and political act of activism providing a space for political thought, discussion, and action.

Only Air is a deeply personal collection of poems which explore what it is like to go through a life changing accident and then to re-exist in a world that is suddenly unfamiliar. It is a story of making sense of a new way of surviving and beliefs once held whilst trying to overcome barriers, prejudices and labels. Sometimes moving other times a wry humorous account of memories, this is part biographical with a healthy mix of reflection. This collection considers what it means to be part of a family, being alive when you don't conform, and making your journey when the way you perceive yourself is often very different to the ways others observe you. At its very core, this is a discovery of what it means to be normal and to regrow.

From family to relationships to race, we all have different factors which contribute to our overall identity. Blackish explores the complexity of Identity, whether it be how one identifies themselves, or how their identity is perceived by others. Tyrone's poetry explores the complexities of the different aspects that make up ones self, prompting others to think on what makes them them.

In this debut collection Caroline Teague addresses ideas of melancholy linked to striving for a sense of belonging and home. At the same time Good Earth explores reactions and reflections of grief, family and several identities that fit outside the standard'. These poems are deeply personal explanations of feelings that travel between pain and longing to build a tender bridge of understanding and comfort between the reader and the author.
