"In Need of Seawater is not simply a documentary about poetry-it is an experience shaped by memory, voice, and lived history. Directed with sensitivity by Richard Yeagley, the film follows poet, writer, and producer Mark Anthony Thomas as he revisits the poems that defined his early adulthood, written between his early twenties and mid-twenties, and now read aloud more than twenty years later."

The film In Need of Seawater follows poet, writer, and producer Mark Anthony Thomas as he revisits poems written during his early twenties to mid-twenties. Richard Yeagley directs with sensitivity, framing readings as an experience shaped by memory, voice, and lived history. Thomas reads poems aloud more than twenty years after composing them, allowing past impulses and present perspective to coexist within each performance. The pacing emphasizes reflection over exposition, privileging sound and cadence. The project situates early-adult work within a later-life context, revealing how time alters meaning while preserving emotional immediacy.
