Poems of Destry Muller
(SKU: LS600037F1) Destry Muller, a young poet who tragically died at 21, left behind a collection of verses curated by his father, Carl Muller. The poems reflect a profound understanding of life's transience, echoing ancient wisdom on impermanence. Destry's untimely death, a result of a speeding bus just yards from his home, adds poignancy to his words. The collection serves as a bittersweet tribute to a life cut short, inviting readers to contemplate the fleeting nature of existence and find solace in the enduring power of poetry. Carl Muller's presentation of his son's work not only shares Destry's artistic expression but also offers a glimpse into the complex emotions of a grieving parent. The poems remind readers to savor each moment and carry the spirit of a young poet into the unknown.
