Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
The Book
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out how he made the list.Recommended Books

These wasteful hours
in the museum hall
exhibiting the exploits,
critics alike
are flocking over,
in desperate attempt
unlocking
digesting
the meaning of a mystery
to which is none.
Blabber-mouthing platitudes
and bloated praises.
The body of work.
You will see how
this culture of patronage
drains the penniless,
being subjects
fallen prey-
caged
framed
to a prisoned canvas
of posing nude.
In a night enveloped
by a faked light.
Revealing,
showing
some fleshly delight
while acting out
a cheap scene ripped
from the page
of a slut magazine.
An art nouveau.
A magnum opus
on which they praise
the painter,
and not the one
whose eyes
are staring back
from the canvas
like a muted witness-
mocking,
despising
the cultured whims
of the bourgeoisie.
They call it art.
And you shudder
at a thought, when
you know it is
a meaningless,
empty accolade.
Worth a few
hundred bucks
reclining,
staring
blankly to a space-
being still
and have nothing
to hide.
