During our morning session, we will discuss Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee's Age of Iron. Reviewers have said: "A superbly 
realized novel whose truths cut to the bone." "It is, quite simply, a magnificent and unforgettable work." "...a lean and terrible beauty that makes it quite unlike anything that has preceded it." A novel that touches the deepest and most basic human needs while chronicling one person's life and death.

Antije Krog, who served as a reporter for The Truth and Reconciliation Committee, is considered one of South Africa's greatest living poets. We'll begin with Krog's poem, Country of Grief and Grace. For our second, final poem we will turn to Maya Angelou's His Day is Done.
