I Was On Television A Couple Of Years Ago And The Reporter Asked Me, "how Does It Feel Being On Mainstream Media? It's Not Often Poets Get On Mainstream Media." I Said, "well I Think You're The Dominant Media, The Dominant Culture, But You're Not The Mainstream Media. The Mainstream Media Is Still The High Culture Of Intellectuals: Writers, Readers, Editors, Librarians, Professors, Artists, Art Critics, Poets, Novelists, And People Who Think. They Are The Mainstream Culture, Even Though You May Be The Dominant Culture."

The Real Literary Editors Have Mostly Been Fired. Those That Remain Are All 'bottom Line' Editors; Everything Depends On The Money.
