Resting Place of Survival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938841330)

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 survivor'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.
