Milk Poetry selects the finest, freshest poets from the UK and beyond to produce the most nourishing and eclectic spoken word bonanza you could ever hope for, curated and hosted by Malaika Kegode (Outlier)
Rosy Carrick is a writer and performer whose work charts an unusually eclectic trajectory. Her debut poetry collection Chokey was published by Burning Eye in 2018; her follow-up collection I LOVE will be released in October 2025.
Rosy’s debut play Passionate Machine won the award for Best New Play at Brighton Fringe, and The Infallibles Award for Theatrical Excellence at Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, before touring internationally throughout 2019. Her critically-acclaimed second play, Musclebound, which focussed on the power and performance of female sexuality via motherhood and tortured 80s beefcake, was on tour 2024-25.
Rosy has co-hosted the Glastonbury Poetry & Words stage for the last decade. She co-hosted the Latitude poetry stage between 2011-2016, and was co-curator and co-host of the Port Eliot poetry stage between 2017-2019.
Rosy has a PhD on the poetry of Vladimir Mayakovsky and has released two books of his work in translation: Volodya (Enitharmon, 2015) and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (Smokestack, 2017). She is currently working on Dochka: a new collection of Mayakovsky’s never-before-translated poetry for children.
