Yi Zhi

Introduction

Yi Zhi said, "In literary creation, I hope to be single-minded and focused like an arrow homing in on the bullseye. I also hope that I can feel the free atmosphere of the hugging air when I fly." His real name is Zhan Yuzhu and he was originally an art illustrator and an animation artist. He started his exploration in literary works because he admired people who were good at expressing themselves in words, and he also wanted to extend his paintings to the development of picture books with more stories. After work, he tries to integrate his memories of life and local stories of Taiwan into poetry. As he thought about it, writing has become his purest preference.

Resident planning

Seemingly inconspicuous small parks are situated all around our lives, and they are so familiar to people that people don’t even remember their looks. Starting from the Xingfu Village where Taiwan Literature Base is based, we will survey the humanities in Zhongzheng District and look for the colorful corners of life and living in neighborhood parks. For example, rock climbing ladders resemble ant cave dwellings, long twisted slides resemble water dragons, and combination play gears are like small lycaen butterfly cyan series. During the residency, I expect to visit eight parks, complete eight short poems, and one artistic conception drawing, and I will also conduct interactive sessions in workshops for sharing and creating handmade story poems.
