    This paper critically explores selected motifs and figures in Allen Shelton’s poetic and painful collection of essays Dreamworlds of Alabama, complex and convoluted texts which explore his native locality of Jacksonville through the lenses of (European) cultural theory, literary studies, and individual experience, affect and memory. Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s ‘Arcades Project’ and ‘Berlin Childhood Around 1900’, these writings intertwine to present a ruinous landscape haunted by catastrophic histories, personal misfortunes, and collective / individual grief, all set in the deep shadow of Crooked Mountain. Shelton excavates this terrain literally and metaphorically to discover how the commodity form and creaturely life are inextricably interwoven in dense networks of ‘first’ and ‘second’ nature, spatial-temporal configurations of bodies, objects, flora and fauna which reach beyond the here-and-now to recall enduring and disturbing myths and legacies of the South. The paper seeks to trace such figures with respect to Benjaminian themes such as ‘natural history’ and mourning/melancholy, and in relation to what is termed, following Guy Debord, ‘psychotopography.’ In so doing, it is argued that Shelton’s essays offer us powerful and visceral accounts of localities as topoi of trauma and Trauer (sorrow).
