Peruvian-born and LA-raised, Gianella Ghiglino began writing poetry at five years old while simultaneously learning to speak English. Her work as a journalist includes covering the ongoing refugee crisis, the border wall construction, and how the pandemic has affected border cities. She has also worked in Texas, reporting on abortion rights and climate change. She believes in the power of storytelling, whether in the newsroom, or at home, where she writes her most intimate thoughts into poems.

What do you do with the survival instinct when it has fulfilled its purpose? Poet Gianella Ghiglino unravels this question over dozens of soul-stirring pages, charting her relationship with her Peruvian roots, her immigrant family, and survivorโs guilt. Equal parts meditation and eulogy, Resting Place of Survival gives grace to the everyday, the ancestral, and the mythic through native and adapted tongues.
Resting Place of Survival is available now on Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Thriftbooks or Amazon!
