Liza Rose is an American poet and artist from rural Pennsylvania. She currently lives in Manhattan, where she is a creative writing MFA student at New York University, an instructor of undergrad creative writing, and serves as a copyeditor for Washington Square Review. She received both her BA and MA from The Pennsylvania State University. 

Recipient of the 2024 Jabberwock Review Nancy D. Hargrove Editors' Prize in Poetry, American Academy of Poets' 2023 Leonard Steinberg Memorial Prize, her work has appeared in several journals and websites, including Poets.org. She is the author of the poetry collection Motion as the Thing That Separates the Living From the Dead.

Liza was born in Maryland, raised in Oahu Hawaii, and then in a small town in Pennsylvania. She likes to describe her work as “hopeful but sad”, or, with perhaps the better term of “Melancholy”. She is often inspired by nature, especially insects, which she has loved since she was a girl. Her work (both poetry and painting) focuses on the little things in life that are too often overlooked.
