My name is Michael Pollick, and I'm a musician and writer currently living in the Deep South. I'm originally from the Kent State University area of Northeastern Ohio. Although I was born in Akron, Ohio in 1964, almost all of my people are from the Western Pennsylvania area, around Kittanning and Pittsburgh.
In my spare time I enjoy singing karaoke (someone has to), playing the organ for a rural Methodist church, and writing poetry. Many of my poems have been published over the years, including one in a major political poetry anthology called Will Work for Peace. If you'd like to read more of my work, try Googling "Michael Pollick" and looking for interesting poetry websites like the Poets' Canvas. I also enjoy writing humor essays, so you may find one or two of those scattered about on the Web.
I have been married to a native Southern girl named Amy for ten years, and we have a rather large guinea pig named Chantilly. Amy is also a professional writer and works for the local newspaper.
