Twenty-five years since the fall of the Berlin Wall the poet Volker Braun will give a special reading of old and new work and answer questions with David Constantine and Karen Leeder. He will introduce Rubble Flora: Selected Poems (2014), the first collection of his poetry in English and covering poems over 50 years. Introduced by Ian Wallace.
What I never owned, they’ve taken even this.
What I never lived, I know I’ll always miss.
It was hope that came before this fall,
My property, you flog from stall to stall.
When will I say mine again and mean of all.
From ‘Property’ (1990)
