A Spontaneous Book Club!

Since I first met Diana Ferrus and EKM Dido, I started collecting South African poetry and prose. And of course, when I knew we would be going to South Africa to participate in Diversity is Power 2008, I bought books by Antjie Krog, K. Sello Duiker and Henk van Woerden. In Capetown I was happy to add the work of Tyrone Appollis and all the others in the Diversity is Power-collection to my book shelf.

And now, now we just recently received a wonderful gift of many many pages of literature from our dear friend Diana Ferrus:
The Scent of Oranges - Joan Zawatzky
Ashley Kriel. Commemorative Publication
Gemeng. 'n Versameling van ' gemengde' gedigte - Madge du Preez
Bitches' Brew - Fred Khumalo

We will roulate these books between the people in Suriname who have become 'infected' with this passion for South African literature too ... And we will keep you posted on our reading experiences.

Meanwhile, please send us your favorite quotes and titles, poems and lines!
