In Kyla Lee Ward's The Land of Bad Dreams, are discovered valuable truths and dark poetry revealing a beauty inaccessible both to reason and to daylight. Praised by the US Rhysling Poet 2010, Ann Schwader, as "a rich, eccentric miscellany ... skilfully crafted and strangely wrought," the twenty-two poems and three prose vignettes showcased here display Ward's mastery of contemporary and traditional poetic forms, and her rare consciousness of fantasy, ancient, medieval, gothic and current dark themes. Editorial direction by Australia's Charles Lovecraft achieves high quality presentation with an Introduction, Interview with Ward, Alphabetical List of Titles, Index of First Lines, Glossary and Selected Bibliography of the poet. Ward's fourteen atmospheric illustrations and brilliant cover art, with cover design by David Schembri Studios, and book design by Milwaukee's David E. Schultz confirm this as a collector's piece. Published by P'rea Press of Sydney, Australia in September 2011. www.preapress.com

The study of language attitudes is the investigation of beliefs expressed about the nature of language and its diverse usages, how these attitudes came to exist and persist, and how these attitudes shape social action and policy. Language attitude studies have illuminated our understanding of racial issues, social and economic stratification, cultural stereotypes, educational issues, folk linguistics, and, more recently, popular culture. This volume is an examination of four intersections in language attitudes research: Authority, Affiliation, Authenticity, and Accommodation. In each section, the contributors introduce new dimensions to the study of language attitudes while providing examples of the ways in which the study of language attitudes can continue to inform and shape our understanding of language diversity.
