Morton and I doing same homework

As Tim says:

“As fate would have it, we’re both finishing our essays for New Literary History tonight…Graham’s is synoptic, mine is a probe. That’s just how it happened. They complement each other excellently. Thanks Rita Felski for asking us to do this. My one is called ‘An Object-Oriented Defense of Poetry.’ I’ll let Graham tell you what his is. It made me smile.”

All right. Mine is a spoof on Cleanth Brooks’s book title The Well Wrought Urn. My article is called “The Well Wrought Broken Hammer.”
