Hanan Issa is the National Poet of Wales. On I Zig and I Zag:

“An exciting collection of new voices. ‘I Zig and I Zag’ weaves together varying styles and stories – there is truly something for everyone here!”

A detailed in-store photograph taken on a wooden shelf, prominently featuring the poetry anthology book 'I Zig and I Zag' edited by Masaka Madeda. The white cover features a minimalist black line illustration of a winding path of footprints leading to a lone walking figure. Below the title, multiple contributors' names are listed within a circular line. The full title at the bottom reads 'A Poetry Anthology: Voices from the Margins'. A small 'M2M Books' logo is present.

I Zig and I Zag is a multi-community poetry anthology bringing together an uncompromising chorus of poets. Thirteen unflinching works from nine British poets. Then Masaka Madeda’s hundred-page meditation: travelogue, diary, elegy, and love poem in the same breath; the epic poem this anthology was built around.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Overhead photo of a stack of miscellaneous books. The primary book on top is a paperback titled 'Love and Happiness' by G.J. James, with a cover illustration of a figure in an armchair reading, shown from behind. Other visible book titles include Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Pulitzer edition, George Orwell's '1984', and 'Shaping the Wild' by David Elias.

North England, 1971–1988. Harriet Bush is Black, adopted, sharp, and fiercely direct; raised in white middle-class Cheshire alongside Lucas, her adopted brother, the only person who can know what her adoption cost. Love and Happiness follows two decades of her life. Nothing prepares you for the final pages.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
