In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with Angela Mateus, director of the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, to talk about the magic that happens when writers get together with other writers. From unforgettable dinners to the deep connections that can form in just a few days, Angela reflects on why kindness—not competition—is the foundation of the colony experience.
A neurodivergent poet who writes in multiple languages, Angela shares how her perspective has become an advantage both in her own work and in building community for others, many of whom also share a neurodivergent bent. Along the way, Aubrey gets excited about the possibilities from a partnership between the magazine and the colony to connecting with young writers from local universities and schools.
Join Aubrey and Angela as they talk about artistic minds, the challenge of making space for the creative, and the places that leave a lasting mark.
