Dear friends,
I've been thinking a lot about the impossibility (and miraculous possibility) of holding both joy and sorrow at once. Wishing you comfort in this particularly tense and disheartening moment in history. I hope art and friends and sweetness and illumination reach you.
Next month I'll do my last little round of Living Room Shows for the year, this time, in the UK. I've loved playing these intimate concerts. The experience is shaping the next batch of songs which feel more brave and more thoughtful than anything I've made. This will be my first UK tour since before the pandemic. It's only five shows, all under-the-radar, and any amount of word-spreading would mean the world to me.

A couple weeks ago I had the profound pleasure of sharing the stage with writer-pals Hanif Abdurraqib and Kaveh Akbar, and musician-pal Kasey Anderson for a benefit at Portland Art Museum's new Tomorrow Theater. All three have new beautiful releases out now (Kaveh's novel Martyr! is currently up for a National Book Award). I highly recommend you check out their work. My friend Vera Brosgal drew us during the show and captured the fact I was smiling the whole time.
Currently reading the new Sally Rooney novel, Intermezzo, and rereading Elena Passarello's excellent collection of essays about the voice, Let Me Clear My Throat.
Much love from here,
LG
