In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with writer and professor Paul Juhasz for a candid and often darkly funny conversation about storytelling, teaching, and survival.Paul talks about his upcoming poetry collection Catabasis, a descent through despair toward unexpected light, and how decades of living with bipolar depression uniquely prepared him to guide others through modern disillusionment. He also shares glimpses into his sprawling new novel-in-progress, where a hitman’s moral reckoning mirrors the violence and sacrifice embedded in parenthood.From the classroom to the page, Paul reflects on the power of humor in healing, the courage of memoir, and the strange grace that comes from giving words to trauma. The conversation ranges from the ethics of AI in education to the importance of trusting an idea to take its own form.Raw, reflective, and often unexpectedly hilarious, this episode captures the heart of a writer who believes in art’s ability to confront darkness, find connection, and keep going — one story at a time. Send us a textSupport the showemerge-magazine.com
