MERZ is partnering with Kolaj Institute to offer a solo residency to one artist who works at the intersection of Poetry and Collage. 

Over a two-week period, the Collage-Poet-In-Residence will live in the Bothy at MERZ and work out of the MERZ Gallery to make a body of collage poems that will be presented as part of World Collage Day 2023 in Sanquhar and be published in a future issue of PoetryXCollage. Kolaj Institute will consider the publication of a chapbook of collage poetry.

PoetryXCollage is a printed journal of artwork and writing which operates at the intersection of poetry and collage. We are interested in found poetry, blackout poetry, collage poems, haikus, centos, response collages, response poems, word scrambles, concrete poetry, scatter collage poems, and other poems and artwork that inhabit this world. Learn more HERE.

Kolaj Institute will provide virtual support to the Collage-Poet-In-Residence including feedback and critique if desired. MERZ will connect the Collage-Poet-In-Residence with poets from the area.
