theresa stern was a poetess/prostitute from hoboken and the shortlived alter ego of tom verlaine and richard hell. her author portrait is a composite image of both verlaine and hell, photographed by charlotte deustch. in 1973, hell published a book of poems, written collaboratively with verlaine a couple years earlier by passing a typewriter back and forth between themselves, under theresa's name.

I was sayin let me spin that record before I was even born -it's such a gamble when you get a face: Richard Hell DJing at the Mudd Club, NYC, ca. 1980/81.

"…The Mudd Club was simply impenetrable. Our South Street gang had all gone there from the moment it opened. We caught the initial outings of ex-Television-guitarist Richard Lloyd as well as the Feelies, in their revved-up, Velvets-infected majesty, and readings from William Burroughs, sitting behind his grey metal office desk. The DJ one night would be Cookie Mueller, the next night James Chance, the next night Richard Hell. …Traipsing back and forth between Tier 3 and the Mudd Club, sometimes multiple times a night, became a ritual for all of us no wave boys and girls. The rout from White Street to West Broadway –with a break at Dave’s Luncheonette once in a while- could be as social as the gigs themselves. Club hoppers would compare notes with those heading in the opposite direction, gleaning how dead or alive each spot was…” 'Sonic Life: A Memoir' by Thurston Moore.
