Hellthread: Collected Poems Kindle Edition
In Hellthread, Owen Muir, a renowned child and adult psychiatrist, shares a collection of poetry that explores the themes of death, plague, and the human experience. Drawing from his background in psychiatry, Muir delves into the depths of human emotion and the darker side of our existence, revealing the beauty and despair that often come hand in hand. Muir composed the poems on airplanes, and on his iPhone, one letter at a time.
These poems bear witness to the struggles we face and the resilience we exhibit in the face of adversity. Through rich imagery and evocative language, Muir's verses address topics such as hopelessness, disease, and the fine line that separates life and death. In the face of tragedies like the pandemic, Muir examines the ways in which we cling to hope and search for meaning.
Letters to Vesuvius is not just a collection of poems about death and disease; it is also a journey of self-discovery and an exploration of what it means to be human. The poems serve as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, we can find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone.
This volume will captivate readers who appreciate raw, powerful, and thought-provoking poetry. Owen Muir's Letters to Vesuvius is a testament to the human spirit and the resilience that lies within us all, making it a must-read for anyone seeking solace and understanding in a world riddled with uncertainty and despair.

It's worth noting that Owen is a Satire Enthusiast and writes a not-entirely-sincere-allways newsletter about healthcare. Academic writing is serious; other works are in the spirit of humor and commentary on the absurd. All poetry and related content is written by a human but is not certified high art.
