Poetry. David Lunde's second title with Mayapple Press, INSTEAD, is a collection of the various ways memory is evoked. Lunde finds similarity between a man and his "dog-headed cane," the reconstruction of an ancient building and the uneasy integration of two cultures, and his toddler and a communist country. Each memory is provoked by a singular, vibrant image. Lunde's craft is one of images woven together with his uniquely whimsical voice. As James Sallis notes, "What we too often forget--and what Dave Lunde forever remembers-is that all art, however lofty its final reach, has its beginning in play." David Lunde has been Co-Editor and Publisher of The Basilisk Press, Contributing Editor of Escarpments, Managing Editor of Drama & Theater, and Poetry Editor of The Riverside Quarterly. He is the author of seven books and chapbooks of poems. His poems, stories and translations have appeared internationally in more than 250 periodicals and anthologies.
