Title: A major let down!
Review: I was really let down by these poems. The poems had some rather nasty political undertones e.g. some of the poems seem to suggest that the blame for the 9/11 atrocities lay with the Jews. Anti-Semitism seems to be prevalent in Kim's poetry and this book is no different. Whilst I find the attitude of some Orthodox Jews annoying, I don't believe that Kim's poetry is going to make them change their ways etc. Kim has a propensity for drawing conclusions based on circumstantial evidence. A few of Kim's poems are contradictory and contain mixed messages.The standard of the poetry is rather low and I believe that Kim maybe an amateur poet just starting out on his writing career. If this is the standard to be expected from his work, I hold out very little hope for his career as a writer.
