Cracks of Light: Pandemic Poetry & Fiction 2019-2022 offers a diverse collection of personal and objective verse and prose that reflect upon bleak backdrop of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the people affected, including loved ones, strangers, first responders, and those who never lost sight of cracks of light.

From Wytor Candor to Bridge of Dreams, Natural Magick to Nocturnal Voices, and Pilgrimages to Yardbird Windfalls, FLYTRAPS: POEMS offers readers a diverse collection of verse thematically distinct and yet individually memorable. Step inside words where Homages outshine laments and Staircase Windows provide a vantage point for recollecting the past through panes dark and light.

The poems cover a great variety of topics, some reminiscence, others present-day meditations, and also exploration of our future prospects. Each offers enticing imagery and various shapes on the page.... These resolute verses, like golden coins, glimmer with betrayal, passion and mystery but still hold true to the Fibonacci structure. Nature may have devised the 'Fibonacci Sequence' for efficiency, but in Halcyon Days under Sterling Warner's alchemy, the human need to account for the life and death forces we are part of becomes the power of the poet and not mathematician.-Stuart Kurtz

In SERPENT'S TOOTH, "Sterling's poems witness texture and digging into memory and imagination, something for everyone: to make us laugh and cry and ponder-a voice that loves sound, meaning, and wordplay. His poems vibrate off the page as expressions and discovery: dense and airy, fluid and structured...tender, vital, vivacious verse." -Tobey Kaplan: Poet, Educator, Author of Across the Great Divide: Selected Poems
