Flórída

In these poems a woman who arrived in Berlin at twenty-six with one suitcase and lofty notions of Hegel and Kant recalls her life there and her friendship with Flórída, a punk singer once hailed as a female Iggy Pop and now ignored in middle age. Something seems to have happened to Flórída, and the speaker, who may not be telling the truth, is being questioned by a Herr Fleischer, in a dark, intimate and unsettling sequence.
