Nine years into their career, they are the model of the indie band made good—critical respect, Jdecent sales, sound track exposure—while Lewis’ solo debut, Rabbit Fur Coat, was a modest hit last year, with 112,000 copies sold. She has a love of pretty things—I see her, over the course of two summer weeks, wearing, among other things, a sparkly little jacket, a gold-trimmed minidress, and Chanel-esque heels. Her consumer lust is so strong that she deadpans at one point about her breakup with the band’s lead guitarist, Blake Sennett, “It was because of my shopping.” Lewis’ apartment is located on a slanted hill in the boho Silver Lake neigh- borhood of Los Angeles.

For some of us again, it has already and always been like this. For many, it has been difficult to remain positive in light of both local and global events in recent weeks. And many have been asking what can we do? How do we keep going? Poets and writers have and continue to ask difficult questions, respond to those questions, keep alive the humanity that often seems lost, and retain hope. The slow, incomplete, but very real achievements made in the last several decades face their greatest challenge yet. But hope is still there. Hope is everywhere. The work that has been done at an immeasurable cost in lives and time has not yet been undone. The work of good people is not finished, and it may never be finished. There will always be bigots. But there will always be good people to challenge them. What does this have to do with literature? Everything.
