This residency offers an international writer the opportunity to develop their interdisciplinary projects and ideas in Cove Park’s supportive environment and to make useful contacts across the artforms in Scotland, the UK and further afield. This year the residency has been awarded to Lizhen Liang. A poet, translator, curator and graduate of the Slade, Lizhen will be using her time to research new collaborations across poetry and the visual arts, with, among others, Bill Herbert and Yang Lian.
