Description
In the Afterword, the author asks a series of questions about what has happened to those who have read her book about how they have changed in their teaching and in themselves. She also asks, “What comes next?” This, she maintains, is up to each teacher and reader of her book. She would like to hear from other teachers and readers, to know what they have learned and how they have changed. As a final reflection, she closes the book with a poem by one of her students in which she muses on muses.
