...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.
When will this be published? I've been lurking for a while, but having just had a conversation about "things" in "Mont Blanc" that led into OOO territory with my wonderful students on Thursday, I'm eager to direct them to your piece—and of course to read it myself.
