Established by Professors Robert Hamburger and Ellen Garvey in fall 1996, Paths highlights the achievements of students in a variety of writing courses and seeks to encourage a greater interest in creating literature in academic communities in Hudson County. Paths has succeeded in its mission. The fourth volume appeared spring 2000, and each year we receive more submissions. Much of the poetry, fiction, or autobiographical prose is generated in creative writing courses. Paths' editorial staff of five faculty members take turns serving as editor each year.
Students majoring in English and art provide a variety of services in preparing the publication.
Many New Jersey City University students write but seldom share it with an audience or consider seeking a publishing outlet. We would like to see more of your creative efforts. Hudson County High Schools Paths also seeks submissions from Hudson County high school students. If you teach English at the high school level, we are interested in your students writing. Each category has two honorable mention citations.
