The classroom is a sacred place. English Infinity at Booneslick CC shows why that is. The text, currently seeking a publisher, renders the classroom as I experienced it: a site where people with different backgrounds and beliefs come to share humor, understanding, inspiration, and intellectual growth, by sharing a purpose. A few representative chapters are offered below.
Learn their Names
The introduction which sets out the book’s purpose and approach.
La Vie Boheme, MO
Chapter on the joys of working with rural bohemians (not in Brooklyn) with a shoutout to the late John Hartford.
Hopkinetics
Brings the reader into the classroom where the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, among other issues (including Catholic education) is discussed.
