"Reading METAPHYSICAL LICKS is like seeing Kafka's ghostwriter whump Beckett under a streetlight, dodge Punch-n-Judy at a pop machine, and beat Walty Benjamin at solitaire. Gregoire Pam Dick's ghosts are philosophy and abstract expressionism, a rattle of voice and dust in the East Village of NYC, and the lives of poet Georg and his sis Grete Trakl, sibling liebling rivalries up late and touching each other, soothed by panic, waking with ADD ritalin crack poppers and abscessed eyes."--Erin Moure "Incest, genius, death-wish, sublimity, funk, chromaticism: METAPHYSICAL LICKS has the cascading Germanic fever of Friedericke Mayrocker's or Ingeborg Bachmann's wildest flights, spliced with the equal
