In which the author apes Tolkien by writing in-universe poetry, and then takes the whole bit Even Further by writing some fake academic essays about said poetry: as performed by someone who hates academia, but does enjoy a good poem.
Ft. a vague gesture in the Direction of alliterative verse, gratuitous historical revisionism on the part of several poets, and one (1) very frustrated academic narrator.
