A look at the effects of one girl's suicide on her high school "I can feel The whispering of the hallway walls Growing louder as the groups gather. Each clique adding to its morning input. "Did you hear?" "Who told you?" "Do you think it's really true?" New at this school, I stand alone. Watching . . ." This collection of voices centers on the suicide of high school freshman Anna Gonzales. Each piece, read alone, portrays a classmate's or teacher's personal reaction to the loss, taken hard by some, by others barely noticed. Read together, the poems create a textured testimony to the rippling effects of one girl's devastating choice.
