Doc Drumheller
ISBN: 978-0-473-72268-5
Softcover, 96 pp, 210 x 148mm
The Hotel Theresa is a landmark in Harlem, New York City,
where legendary figures like Josephine Baker, Duke Ellington, Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ali made their New York stay-overs.
After visiting this iconic hotel, poet Doc Drumheller was inspired
to write and collect poems based on his travels, exploring the world as a dual citizen of New Zealand and the USA.
The poems in this collection were composed on his journeys in
New Zealand, and throughout the USA, Asia, Europe, and
Central America, where he has represented New Zealand at numerous international poetry festivals as a poet and cultural ambassador.
The individual poems have been published in prestigious
magazines and anthologies in New Zealand and around the
world, translated into many languages, and received awards
and honours from several international universities.
Hotel Theresa features seventy of the published poems from
more than one hundred composed between 2011 and 2024.
Doc Drumheller is an award-winning poet, musician, dramatist,
who has published 11 collections of poetry. His poems are translated into more than 20 languages, and he is the editor and publisher of the New Zealand literary journal Catalyst.
He was elected to represent New Zealand on the Executive Board of the World Congress of Poets, and is the editor in chief of the World Congress of Poets literary journal Fuego.
He has represented New Zealand at international poetry festivals
all over the world, and has performed in Cuba, Lithuania, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Japan, India, China, Nicaragua, USA, Mexico, El Salvador, Ecuador, and widely throughout NZ.
Drinking With Li Bai, 100 Haiku from China and India was published by Cold Hub Press in 2022.
Cold Hub Press ~ Doc Drumheller
Hotel Theresa
I have strolled down the brownstones of Harlem
with a heart full of salt peanuts and jazz.
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
as I try to find the Hotel Theresa.
Right across the road from the Apollo
made famous for a walk on the wild side.
Where Louis Armstrong blew his golden horn
but was refused entry to hear his friends.
Where Castro stayed to be with the people
down on one hundred and twenty fifth street.
Where elderly ladies wear their Sunday best
dancing in the aisles of the Baptist Church.
In the place where Malcolm X was transformed
from a two-bit hustler into a saint.
