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."
