Rosa Lia Gilbert

Rosa Lía Gilbert is a believer, wife, mother, and poet. Her work has been published in Fare Forward, Inkwell, America Magazine, and Prosetrics Literary Magazine, among others. She was born and raised in the Dominican Republic but now lives in Washington, alongside her husband and three-year-old daughter. Whenever she’s not juggling family life, she is writing bilingual poems on whatever piece of paper she can find. She considers herself to be a hope-filled and sojourn-minded poet.

Rosa was formerly part of the Calla Press Publishing team as their publishing assistant and has recently stepped into a new role at Vessels of Light Literary Journal as their Spanish poetry translator and assistant editor. She has also been selected as a fellow for Christianity Today’s Young Storytellers Fellowship. You can find Rosa’s writing on her Substack newsletter, In Light of Eternity, as well as her Instagram @rosagilbertpoetry.
