In 1991 Liske's first volume of poetry, TUMOR, was published .

In the same year he began working with Manja Präkels ' band Der Singende Tresen , for which he wrote several song theater programs together with Präkels. In 2003 he took part in the resumption of Die Höhnende Wochenschau . Since 2004 regular solo appearances under the title Liske Reads . His political satires , presented in the various reading series , have been published in several volumes by Edition AV .

In 2016, Liske's first novel was published, Glücksschweine , which (like Kaltland - Eine Sammlung ) describes the nineties of the 20th century both as a historical void and as a decade of decisive historical decisions. “There are books that are uncomfortable and painful, but they still won't let you go. This is part of it! ”Said the moderator Jörg Petzold on Flux FM .
