Indeed John we have been here so many times before!
It sometimes feels like this channel has done nothing but discuss the
word "mainstream" for the last 200 years.
Except when we discussed "mainsteam" but that might have been a
keyboarding error.
"The Pistol Tree Poems" has just appeared from Shearsman, and as you
say, John, it is as good as the movies. The front cover shows the
spirit of poetry embracing two mainstream fish.
