"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 presents an immersive encounter in which memory, voice, and lived history converge. Richard Yeagley directs with sensitivity. The camera follows poet Mark Anthony Thomas as he returns to poems that defined his early adulthood. The poems were written between his early twenties and mid-twenties and are read aloud more than twenty years later. The revisitations juxtapose youthful texts with the present voice, revealing how time reshapes meaning, emotional registers, and personal history. The experience emphasizes performative memory and the temporal distance between composition and recollection.
