This is a copy of an article written about me in Latrobe's High Post newspaper. I am flattered that they thought I was worth the space I took up. Now onto the article.

Artist's Corner

by

Chloe Capote

    Some students play sports. Some devote many hours studying and excelling in their AP courses. Others are social butterflies. Then there are those who write. As poets, playwrights, and authors, many talented students are enveloped in the shadows behind the brilliant shine of the more obvious, more athletic stars. One of these undiscovered writers is Ross Pollock. When examples were requested, Pollock zealously opened his laptop and shared his organized collection of poems.
    Various themes of love, both unrequited and mutual, along with the more jaded themes of anger and angst are illustrated through out his work. This ability to create poems fueled by such a broad spectrum of emotions makes Pollock a poet of many moods.
    "I'm inspired by life, love, pain, hope, and the fact that I still believe that mankind and the human race is inherently good, despite the evil it's capable of."
Pollock had no trouble selecting which poem he wanted featured.
    "I think 'Sandstorm,' expresses an aspect of an individual's personality that depicts how much one is willing to give for love," he reflected.
    In some of his other poetry, Pollock gives hope to the poet suffering from writers' block.
"Not everything has to be humorous or serious, but just like in the real world, things can just be."

    The Poem that was included in the article was Sandstorm, follow this link if you are interested in reading it.
