Since it's debut in 1984, Island Journal, the Island Institute's annual publication, has celebrated Maine's island and coastal communities through stories, art, poetry, and photography, illuminating that quality of "islandness" found not only in Maine, but also on islands around the world. Collectible and produced to highest stadards, Island Journal has earned a reputation for excellence over the last three decades by providing readers with colorful, thoughtful, and compelling stories and images from and about islands here in Maine, and beyond.
