Beginnings is the 2025 anthology created by the students, staff, and faculty of Hickory Career & Arts Magnet High School (HCAM) in Hickory, North Carolina. This magazine-style collection follows the success of 2024’s The Heart of Poetry and expands beyond creative writing to include visual art, theater, informative articles, recipes, and arts-and-crafts how-tos. A true collaboration between students and educators, Beginnings showcases the diverse talents within HCAM’s vibrant creative community.
“Beginnings is more than just a book,” said HCAM Principal Robert Brown. “It’s a testament to what’s possible when students and educators create together. With content that includes poetry, essays, and hands-on guides, there’s something for readers of all ages who appreciate the arts in all its forms.”
