Gabriela Milkova Robins

Gabriela Milkova Robins is a Macedonian poet and performer based in St Andrews, Scotland. She is currently a PhD Candidate in the School of English at the University of St Andrews. She was the 2023 StAnza Poetry Festival Poet-in-Residence, supported by the Edwin Morgan Trust, holding the Translation Award. Her recent work focuses on folklore, inter-lingual crossovers, myth, ritual, and melody. This work was partly developed during her StAnza residency and for a commission by Scotland's Makar, Peter Mackay, for his project "Many-Voiced Country", funded by the Scottish Poetry Library. Her work has appeared in Seedlings, Bad Saturn Media, Wrong Directions, The Ekphrastic Review, OKNO.MK, Diversity – International Review for Literature, and three Macedonian anthologies. She has been hosted by the Edinburgh International Book Festival, StAnza Poetry Festival, and Struga Poetry Evenings. Her visual poetry has featured at StAnza 2023 and at the off-page 24 visual poetry exhibition at Many Studios, Glasgow.
