"More than twenty years after publishing The Poetic Repercussion, writer and filmmaker Mark Anthony Thomas returns to the words that shaped his earliest creative life-not to revisit them with nostalgia, but to translate them forward."
"In Need of Seawater, directed by Richard Yeagley, is the first chapter of a poetic documentary trilogy that transforms memory into movement, and poetry into a living, cinematic language."
More than two decades after earlier publication, formative poems are engaged and translated into a new medium rather than revisited nostalgically. A filmic project converts poetic material into motion, treating verse as a source for cinematic language and embodied expression. The initial film functions as the opening chapter of a poetic documentary trilogy that pursues this translation across cinematic chapters. The creative approach emphasizes transformation of memory into movement and reimagines poetry as a living, sensorial presence within film rather than as a static textual artifact.
