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."

Review
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. One eye winks, even as the other fixes you in its stare; you feel the thread of blood from the unfelt stroke. --James Sallis
There is a special pleasure in moving with such a poet as he drives words down roads we did not suspect existed and surprises us with his stops, turns, reversals, and changes of pace, or drives down familiar roads with unexpected words. --Brian Salchert

First Sentence:
Instead of writing this poem this weekend, I could have poisoned cabbage worms in the garden, assassinated aphids with a handy, multipurpose agent invented by the Germans in World War II; I could have attended the Democratic picnic, barbecued my moustache and played Frisbee with the old farts; I could have explained once again to my neighbor that it's not the Kiwanis itself- I'm sure they're a fine bunch of leisure suits-I'm just not a joiner; I could have strolled downtown for The New York Times in my bathrobe and slippers not giving a good goddamn what the churchgoers thought and spent all Sunday reading it; but instead, here I am again wasting my time on you.
