In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with poet and retired professor Todd Sukany, a self-described “sentence nerd” with a deep love for structure, clarity, and the occasional hidden truth. Todd shares his journey from teaching freshman comp and linguistics to discovering poetry through the encouragement of colleagues and the quiet pressure of monthly deadlines.A lover of Proverbs, Tang poets, and early morning runs, Todd reflects on his shift from writing “poetry-adjacent” work to developing a distinct voice steeped in lyricism, humility, and surprise. He discusses the evolution of his craft, the power of critique, and his long-running poetic collaboration with fellow writer Ray Kirk—a project spanning sixteen books and counting.With insight, humor, and a reverence for the well-placed word, Todd reminds us that poetry is both practice and play. Tune in for an honest conversation about feedback, hidden meanings, and the joy of sentences that sing.Send us a textSupport the showemerge-magazine.com
