Synopsis

From Serj Tankian, lead vocalist for critically acclaimed band System Of A Down, comes a striking debut poetry collection highlighting his best early works as narrated by the author himself. Like System Of A Down's multi-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 Los Angeles based artist Sako Shahinian, Cool Gardens is honest, heartfelt, and humorous -- a talented artist at his uncompromising best.

This reminds me a lot of my journals and songs from about age 15-23. That's in no way saying that Serj is an angsty teen-ager, just that it was probably very satisfying to write it and I'm sure it makes sense to him, but probably not to many others. There's a brilliant comprehensible line here and t......more
