Summary

The present volume, entitled Later Sonnets, continues the writer's exploration of the classical form. If the earlier work drew upon the eighteenth century and the language of the law, here the hand is surer, the voice more seasoned, and the reflections more tempered by experience.

The poems remain serious in their general cast, yet moments of wit and humanity are not absent. They range across the landscape of the human spirit, considering with candour its trials, renewals, and quiet revelations. Once again, the writer respectfully submits this collection to the discernment of his readers, whether they approach in sympathy, in judgement, or perhaps both.
Available since: 07/17/2026.
Print length: 306 pages.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if your love is just a bug in the system? 
We live in a world where our entire lives - photos, correspondence, stories - are stored on servers, in the cloud, as zeros and ones. We trust digital ghosts to keep our souls safe. But what if one day they decide that some part of it shouldn't exist? What if one day you wake up and the most important person in your life is just a broken file that the system decided to delete? 
This story is about a love that is stronger than a 404 error. About fighting for the right to remember in a world that desperately wants to forget and simplify everything. It's a journey into the heart of what makes us human: our scars, our losses, our imperfect but infinitely precious memories. 
I don't know if Kael is real. But his pain is. I hope you feel it. 
And maybe after reading this, you'll hug the ones you love a little tighter. Just in case.

    From the Sunday Times bestselling author and former World Poetry Slam Champion, Harry Baker's third 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).

    'The way they're changing endz is nuts.'
Red Pitch. South London. Three lifelong friends Omz, Bilal and Joey are playing football. Like they always have. Living out dreams of football stardom. Beyond their football pitch, local shops are closing, old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up, some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave.
A coming-of-age story about what it means to belong somewhere, Tyrell Williams' fast-paced and sharp-edged play tells a powerful story about gentrification, regeneration and the impact of this relentless change on London's communities.
Red Pitch received an ecstatic critical and audience response when it was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in February 2022, directed by Associate Artistic Director Daniel Bailey. The production was revived at the Bush in September 2023, and transferred to @sohoplace in London's West End in March 2024.
For Red Pitch, Tyrell Williams won the Evening Standard Theatre Award and the Critics' Circle Theatre Award both for Most Promising Playwright, The Stage Debut Award for Best Writer, the George Devine Award, as well as the Off West End Award for Best New Play.
An earlier version of the play was presented in June 2019, as part of the Untold Season at Ovalhouse, London.
