Editorial Reviews:

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 Angeles­based artist, Cool Gardens is honest, heartfelt, and humorous -- a talented artist at his uncompromising best.

Summary: Serj is the Man
Comment: I am really impressed. Serj Tankian has created so much great art. All the SOAD albums, his solo album is freakin incredible, and this book is great. I do not usually read poetry at all. This book marks the first time I've read poetry for enjoyment.

Like his song writing, his poetry can be cryptic at times and that may turn off some people but if you give this book an open mind you will be rewarded with some great insights by a really cool guy. Seriously, this is great stuff.

Summary: I wish I could give this no stars
Comment: This book of poetry is a great example of why poetry is dying. There is too much of this going around. I was kind of upset with Serj for taking advantage of his new status as a celebrity to get a book of his mediocre poetry published, I rushed out and bought it and I hope you don't make the same mistake I did. Buyer beware, this book of poetry sucks. He was poised to give us a lesson on rebellion and instead took a Cleveland steamer on our chests.

Summary: Occasionally insightful, mostly incomprehensible
Comment: 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 there, but much of it almost seems like automatic writing with a little bit of word play added. The closest thing I can compare it to is Burroughs. If you enjoy digging through the non-sense to get to the gems of thought, check this out. It makes good bathroom reading. OR if you're into psychedelic drugs it may also make much more sense, until you're down again that is. Long live System of a Down! Keep fighting the "good" fight Serj.
