Great American writers--William Carlos Williams, Jonathan Edwards, Emily Dickinson, Noah Webster, Hart Crane, Wallace Stevens, Henry James--all in the physicality of their archival manuscripts (reproduced in beautiful facsimiles here)--are the presiding spirits of Spontaneous Particulars: Telepathy of Archives.
