Metaphysical Licks by Gregoire Pam Dick

By Gregoire Pam Dick

Metaphysical Licks, a hybrid prose-poem/novella riffing at the lives and works of Austrian poet Georg Trakl and his sister, Grete, is the stressed new paintings by means of author and translator Gregoire Pam Dick [a.k.a. Mina Pam Dick, Jake Pam Dick et al., writer of Delinquent (Futurepoem, 2009)]. With a mixture of low and high, tragic and comedian, summary and urban, artifice and confession, Dick's playful writing takes hazards. It transposes Georg's Grete (musician, fellow addict and suicide) to current-day Greta, provides her Wittgenstein and Kafka as different brothers, and betroths her (unhappily) to Nietzsche. Crossing ny urban with Vienna and Berlin, it composes dissonance from city moments, narrative fragments, and philosophical feedback. The artistic, androgynous, sexually unfastened (and intermittently incestuous) personality of Greta expresses itself in the course of the surreal and haunted imagery of Trakl's poems. Readers may be attracted to Dick's mix of girl/punk/genderqueer rebelliousness and extremely wondering inspiration, in a textual content the place creativity by myself deals get away and exultation, and subjectivity retains altering its sounds.
