Five Thousand Words

...in three hours, and yesterday I wrote three thousand words in about the same time. Today I'm writing my essay “An Object-Oriented Defense of Poetry.” It's for New Literary History and it's a way of introducing OOO to literature scholars, who are still enthralled by other views somewhat, or by a kind of no man's land between the big explosions of deconstruction and new historicism and...well I hope OOO.

But it's also about Shelley and aesthetics and causality and it's one of the most exciting to write things I've ever put together.
