I’ll have to look into these! That’s a great point.

bake a cathedral Edith Södergran, ‘Hope’, translated by Jaakko A. Ahokas.

I want to forget my manners - I couldn't care less about noble styles, I roll up my sleeves.
The dough of poetry is rising ...
Oh, what a sorrow - I can't bake cathedrals...
The soaring high forms —
The goal of persistent yearning.
Child of our time -
doesn't your soul have its right shell?
Before I die
I'll bake a cathedral.

Why is cafeteria pizza always the same? A square of dough with a scattering of cheese and pepperoni and a quiet voice whispering underneath it all as you chew explaining that if you give in, just a little, your life would be so much better. Why is that?

What if it wasn't a glass slipper but a glass book? What if the action took place in a bookshop and not at a grand ball?

Just a couple of questions answered in @ivygrimes.bsky.social witty and surreal collection Glass Stories.

Maybe it's time for me to bring in a picture of Rod Stewart when I get my hair cut

Thank you!

Today's question for consideration:

It feels like there’s pressure in both literary and genre fiction to write about “important topics.” Is there a way to offer readers escapism and depth at the same time, though?

I had so much fun talking with @ljabouttown.bsky.social! LJ is an amazing interviewer and was patient with my nervous speech habits/knew how to draw the story out and made me so comfy. We laughed, maybe we cried too? but you can't see our faces.

@ivygrimes.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:28 PM

That's wonderful!!

@ivygrimes.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 6:45 PM

Y'all, we made it to 100. Met the goal! And yet, wouldn't you know it...now we have a new goal! And that goal is...uh....125!

This offers a screenshot of Goodreads as undeniable proof that The Cellar Below the Cellar has now reached 100 ratings. The screenshot is a little blurry, though.
