Jerry: I'm in Nosferatu's thrall.
George: You're in his thrall?
Jerry: I'm in his thrall!
George: Get out of his thrall.
Jerry: You can't get out of a thrall. That's the thing with a thrall! You're never through with the thrall!

Beyond honored to have a poem selected for the 2024 Academy of American Poets Prize. It's an amalgamation of Bachelard's ideas in Poetics of Space and a conversation I had with my former teacher and friend, the talented poet and translator Joshua Weiner.

I've long thought, & other scholars w/ similar research interests have made arguments for this as well, that Faulkner is contrary to Proust in that he does not approach art as capable of embodying experience. Doris Betts too writes that “[t]here’s so much you can’t save by writing down.” It's a very big question but one wonders if there is something about the South, Southern memory and literary practice as a means of containing memory that is basically anti-Proust.
