Mina Pam Dick (aka Traver Pam Dick, Gregoire Pam Dick et al.) is a writer, translator, artist and philosopher living in New York City. Her prose poetry has appeared in BOMB, The Brooklyn Rail, Aufgabe, Everyday Genius, The Recluse and Fence Magazine, and is forthcoming in Mrs. Maybe; her philosophical work has appeared in a collection published by the International Wittgenstein Symposium. Her translations, mistranslations and co-translations can be found in Telephone Journal and Dandelion. Dick’s first book, Delinquent, was published by Futurepoem Books in 2009. Currently, Dick is working on transgenre books which engage with Hölderlin, Trakl, Lenz, Büchner and Robert Walser. They do philosophy as lit, and explore fluid identity, tonal alternation’s music, the poetics of sex with sibling books.

ABOUT TRANSPOSE:

Transpose – exchange places; shift contexts; play music in a different key; change forms; pose difficulties; raise questions; assume positions of the mindbody; mistake identities.

Once upon a time in the land of translit (prose poetry as philosophy, poetry as sound performance, textual transience of the wandering I) there lived Avasilichioaei and Dick. Dick transversed mounts of subjective texts (truth as first-personal, world an idiocosm) dug deep into linguistic contours, risking marginals. Germaning up the Trakls, Kafkas, Hölderlins, Wittgensteins, Kierkegaards (incestuous poetics as making out or off with kindred texts), Dick became subject to Mina Pam Dick, Traver Pam Dick, Hildebrand Pam Dick and so on (how the act of writing fictionalizes the author, who moves in and out of protagonist/narrator). Avasilichioaei tried various positions (mapping out the page’s architecture, in the porous boundary between page and body, private and public), positing a translation or two, an invented writer or two (writing with, alongside, in response to, against the signature of anothers), landscaping sound and sounding into the pagescape (transcription in the foliage of veins, the throat’s technology; body sounding out its sediments, its vocal multiple). One day, Avasilichioaei and Dick, qua Odile A. and Felix P. D., began writing across the letters of Ingeborg Bachman (language doing language, trans-sex through text).
