From Serj Tankian, lead vocalist for critically acclaimed band System of a Down, comes a striking debut poetry collection highlighting his best work of the past eight years. Like System of a Down's platinum-selling second album, Toxicity -- hailed by "Rolling Stone" as "a bouquet of smart rock and ardent social argument" and by "SPIN" as "the sound of now" -- Tankian's poetic style is willfully eclectic. Sometimes introspective, sometimes direct and cutting, these poems deal with subjects as wide-ranging as euthanasia and the nature of time itself. Featuring original artwork created by Sako Shahinian, a young Los AngelesA-based artist, "Cool Gardens" is honest, heartfelt, and humorous -- a talented artist at his uncompromising best.

Reviews

Saul Williams Author of "She" Serj's words, like his voice, have a distinct aesthetic sensibility connected to an unyielding, visceral roar of passion. His capacity 'to mock a killing bird' while we wonder at the grace, beauty, and colorful range of his wingspan will be the trademark of both of his singing and writing careers. Serj is an amazing artist, full of passion, with a beautiful heart that pumps the essence of his vision and talent.

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 16/07/2008

Serj Tankian is in my eyes and gifted poet and lyricist. He is brave activist who shares with us his outlook on life and the world we live in. A world that can be both terribly cruel and wonderfully joyful. He is not afraid to tell us about the things that reside in his soul or the things that obviously bring him great sadness and frustration. I love this book of poetry and so will you if you are interested in a complex and talented man who fights for what he believes in and is never afraid to write the truth.
