His work has been included in various anthologies and journals. He has taught courses on Chapbooks, Ekphrastic Poetry, and Poetry and the Body. He hosts a monthly poetry series for Moonstone.

Steve Pollack hit half-balls with broomsticks, rode the Frankford El to Drexel University, and crossed the equator on the USS Enterprise. He advised local governments, directed an affordable housing co-op, and built hospitals, science labs and public schools. He found poetry (or poetry found him) later. His chapbook, L’dor Vader - From Generation to Generation, was published by Finishing Line Press.
