To counter-balance the latest education reform: STEM! STEM! STEM!, The Orange Island Arts Foundation presents our Spring issue of the Orange Island Review, a collection of poetry and artwork from high school students throughout the U.S. and edited entirely by a high school editorial staff. Here is a little Arts and Humanities to go with all that Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
STEAM! STEAM! STEAM!

Also included, an interview with Inaugural poet Richard Blanco concerning the power of poetry on an interdisciplinary level, and the winners of the South Florida High School Poetry Contest.

If you find yourself wondering about the relevance of verse in the age of the tweet, to take a peek at what this journal has to offer: a great read and insight on the ideas and concerns and "deep feels" of high-school students all over the country. And it does it far better than a flow chart ever could!
