Machu Picchu, the City in the Clouds
High in the mountains of southern Peru, on a saddle of land slung between two peaks, a city of stone stands empty in the dark. This factual sleep story follows Machu Picchu through the countryside that took turns building it, the sixteen cut channels whose water still runs, the window made for one sunrise of the year, and the long argument about what the place was for.
Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
