Los Angeles Literature Events 12/17/18 –12/23/18
Santa Monica Public Library
Join us at our Main Library Book Group to discuss the book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion, by Jonathan Haidt. This event is for adults and seniors.
Why can’t our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In this book, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.

A Gathering of Tribes Poetry Reading at Chevalier’s Bookstore 
It begins every Wednesday at 7:30 pm. Early arrivals step to the mic, sharing a poem in progress to receive much needed feedback. Then they provide feedback to others. V. Kali, author of Hymn (World Stage Press), sits next to the donation box and front entrance and welcomes attendees as they arrive. As host, V. has been a warm presence each week for years, her long beautiful natural hair a thing of legend. As the crowd grows, the list of open mic readers expands before the feature grabs everyone’s attention. Murmurs of “mmm hmm” and “that’s right” arise from the crowd. After, it’s the community-the open mic readers’-turn at the mic. It’s their chance to bring down the house.
