In addition to the stunning folio of work by Josie Iselin, whose small, meticulously crafted books about and images of the natural world are nationally renowned, this issue features even more articles by and about year-round island residents than ever before. Take a walk around the perimeter of Vinalhaven with Phil Crossman; visit with Sandy Oliver in her Islesboro kitchen; enter the poetry and art-filled world of Fairfield Porter and James Schuyler, and marvel at the "classroom without walls" inside Cliff Island's one-room schoolhouse.
