Gemma Guillermo's writing explores themes of migration, identity, family, and class through a cross-cultural lens. She is a past recipient of the William Carlos Williams Prize for medical students and a Pushcart-nominated essayist. Her poetry and essays have appeared in literary magazines and anthologies, including Crab Orchard Review, American Literary Review, Hawai'i Review, and Kartika Review. She is a 2025 Tin House Summer Workshop Fellow and the winner of the 2025 Black Warrior Review Nonfiction Contest. She is currently at work on a memoir about intergenerational trauma, cultural erasure, and the fragile boundaries between caretaking and disappearing into that role.
