Emotions felt to the bone

KUNAL ROY

Emotions. They drive us forward, striving to achieve the unthinkable. 
But they can also drag us down, tear us apart, and leave us unwilling to barely lift our heads. 
Well, I've experienced both sides of this spectrum. And in my first-ever full-length audiobook, Emotions Felt to the Bone, I share these journeys with you in the form of poetry. 
Some are joyful; others are harrowing. Some evoke humor, and others, hopelessness. 
Writing and narrating this compilation of poetry has been one of the better emotional experiences in my life. And I want nothing more than to share it with you.

A Letter from Santa Claus

Mark Twain

Mark Twain wrote this letter to his 3 year old daughter from Santa Claus in 1875. You could say he was over the moon for her:
"My Dear Susy Clemens,
I have received and read all the letters which you and your little sister have written me . . . . I can read your and your baby sister's jagged and fantastic marks without any trouble at all. But I had trouble with those letters which you dictated through your mother and the nurses, for I am a foreigner and cannot read English writing well".
