Confessions of Affection
In a time of quick texts, emojis, and social media, let’s bring back the good old fashioned love letter!
Slow down, relax, and get into your feels as you listen to love from yesteryear to today. Each release will include a old-timey love letter written by a famous author, public figure, or was found in a published work of truth or fiction. These old love letters were located within the public domain, a database of copyright-free works.
Perhaps the love of yore inspires you... but if not, you will also get to hear a modern-day love letter submitted by you, the public. Take a peek into the emotional experience of your peers. Hear their love, their longing, their loss, and their resolution.

Confessions of Affection
To Sarah Helen Whitman from Edgar Allen Poe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With spooky season right around the corner, Poe is my inaugural lovesick lover du jour. Poe will take you on a roller coaster of emotions for his dear love “Helen.” The letter is read as it has been published which includes missing and crossed out lines and “MS” standing for manuscript.
