Harry Baker World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker is a poet and a maths graduate. He writes about important stuff like hope, dinosaurs and German falafel-spoons. His work has been shared on TED.com and viewed millions of times worldwide, as well as being translated into over 20 different languages. In this talk he explores what it means when you are less concerned with fitting in and more excited about filling out to be the best version of yourself, and how it was through meaningful connections with others that he made it through lockdown to be back doing what he loves best, sharing his poems with you! “Harry Baker’s intricate, quick-fire rhymes have always been on the impressive side of mind-blowing” - The Scotsman
