THE STAIR THAT IS A BOOK

a night book of Copán

William Vincent Carleton

At Copán in Honduras, every riser of one pyramid is a glyph: a history climbed with the feet and read with the eyes. Lúmine, Líam and Father look up the Hieroglyphic Stairway, watch scarlet macaws in the ceiba, find Altar Q's sixteen lords and glimpse Rosalila still wearing its paint. A Mexico Night Journeys book in which looking up is already a kind of literacy.
