Mr. Sterling has lived in Southern California since birth, with significant stints away in New York City, as well as several travels abroad. He has distilled his experiences, or rather, impressions of his life experiences, in verse since early in life. Most of his works were destroyed in a fire in the 80’s (“probably a good thing,” he said) and he has worked consistently since then, either resurrecting old memories or committing new ones to written word.

His current project, "Sonnelles," is a series of poems based on the English Sonnet. It includes an audio version narrated by himself with background music he both composed and performed. That's a first.
