Synopsis:

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 survivorโ€™s 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.
