In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with writer and candy-maker Uriah Greer for a conversation as layered and lyrical as the confections he crafts. Uriah reflects on his path from skeptical middle-school reader to emotionally attuned poet and prose writer—one shaped by personal loss, a deep respect for craftsmanship, and an ever-present desire to turn the bitter into something sweet.
Together, they explore how poetry became a tool for healing after his mother’s death, why prose serves as a playground for discovery, and how the writing community offers both accountability and belonging. Uriah shares his winning eMergeessay “Candy Mantle,” a meditative tribute to family legacy, grief, and the art of transformation. With humor, humility, and a reverence for words, he reminds us that the flame we carry is ours alone—but community helps it burn brighter.
Tune in for stories of small joys, big losses, and the quiet courage it takes to keep writing anyway.
