"I’m happiest about a poem that does all artful things. That takes me in its line, loves me, maybe even leaves me, lingering like a fantasy and a regret." - Ben Kline Thank you to @LJ_Sysko for interviewing Ben in @QuarterlyTupelo

Magical essay! (And the pep talk about submission persistence too!) – at Delaware, USA
I often share this story with journalism students when I guest lecture. I wrote an essay in early 2019, hoping to get in published in the NYT Modern Love column. I sent it in, but they passed and I was crushed. I really believed in this essay . . . 🧵

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a tight end in possession of a Super Bowl ring, must be in want of a wife.
