Really Now

  1. In Alexander Etheridge’s Living Will: What actual events, trends or conditions does the poem seem to evoke?

  2. In David Samuels’ Red He Wept: Although the story is set in an imaginary Middle Ages, what cases occur in actual history of religious statues or other icons weeping blood or performing other seemingly miraculous acts?

  3. In Shauna Checkley’s The Truth Jar:

    1. At what point might the reader suspect that Marilyn only imagines she finds Lexi Jones’s confessional notes in the Truth Jar?
    2. Does the Truth Jar even exist outside of Marilyn’s imagination? What purpose could such a thing possibly serve?
    3. Does Marilyn actually guess Lexi Jones’s marital problems or is Marilyn projecting her own fantasies?
    4. Why does Jigsaw yowl frantically?

Responses welcome!
