Hellthread: Collected Poems

By Owen Scott Muir M.D.

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.

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.
