Stele, in Greek, refers to a column, often erected as an elaborate grave marker. Stelae can be found in cultures as diverse as those of the ancient Egyptians, Mayans and Chinese. In Latin, it is a variant of the word, stella, meaning star (i.e., a fixed, luminous point in the sky).

Stele is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Shirley Mussachio
