What is recorded here
William James Craig is a birthplace in Macosquin, County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who arrived in 1843 first learned that words must fit the world before asking the world to fit words. Maybe he sat near a window where rain drew lines across the glass and practiced making those lines mean something. Imagine him young, watching water write and erase, then learning to write back.
