a condensed response to malcolm cowley's exile's return

i do not want to be an exile returning. i want to live in a literary group, one that is not without purpose and indifferent to society and the outcome of our nation. i am tired of being surrounded by smart lazy people. i need movers and shakers. i need people who are fearless and daring and rebellious with a revolution in mind. people who will not commit intellectual and artistic suicide. who know things that matter. that care about things other than obscurity. i am angry and lost in any other crowd.
