		Such alienation became a constant theme in the works of these modernist poets, who, despite the dissimilarities of their backgrounds, produced poetry that was surprisingly similar.
		Exile played a major role in these poets's lives: Williams opted to stay "exiled" in his homeland, refusing to join the American expatriates in Paris, while the Arab poets were literally forced out of their countries and lived mostly in Cairo and Beirut.
		That is, they can be classified as "Insider Others" or "Outsider Others." While each of the CRC poets falls neatly into one of these categories, Williams straddles both, paralleling his anomalous position in American letters.
