Our tenth issue is here!* 
 
Russell Beans, our longtime creature illustrator, is back on the cover! He designed our very first issue so we thought it fitting to bring him back for Issue 10, especially since our *secret* theme is family and friends. 
 
The cover is a family of prehistoric terror birds enjoying themselves in a Florida landscape -- but an asteroid is coming. Islandia looks forward to our rebirth this Fall. New ways of publishing. New volumes in print and online. The asteroid is symbolic of our own apocalypse, which is really just a new beginning! 
 
In this is issue we also have: 
 
A Booklandia essay by Francess Archer Dunbar about the hidden history of Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine. 
Editor Jasmine Respess' incredible look at Dancehall, Reggae, and Miami Bass
A look back Lewis Vandercar, Miami's one and only prankster and Warlock
Artwork from Sara Sarmiento, Stephanie Silver, and Hadi Salloum 
Poems
