King Crimson bassist Tony Levin has released a book of poetry and lyrics.
Fragile As A Song includes a foreword by Peter Gabriel and introduction by former yes drummer Bill Bruford.
Every copy of the $25, 64-page leather-bound book has been signed by Levin. It can be ordered now via his webstore.
Levin says: “These are my poems from through the years, and lyrics from songs on previous albums, current albums and future ones.
“Some are quite personal, others humorous. The title poem is about making a musical connection with a bonobo ape. We fashioned the book as some of my favourite poetry books are – small, leatherette bound, with no publicity blurb on the back.”

- Marillion tackle issues without preaching on 18th album FEAR
- Giraffe Tongue Orchestra debut album Broken Lines will be released in September
- Dweezil Zappa rebrands upcoming shows as Cease And Desist tour
He adds: “I’m very grateful for the wonderful foreword and introduction by my friends Peter Gabriel and Bill Bruford. The book is sold only here on my Bandwear storefront, because the markup elsewhere would have required a higher retail price.”
Multi-instrumentalist Levin – who plays in Peter Gabriel’s band – hits the road tonight (June 21) as part of Sting and Gabriel’s Rock Paper Scissors tour.
