When one starts to read 'Going the Distance', one finds the most appalling poetry conveying the most hideous messages imaginable.The poems were simply awful. There was no flow to the poetry and the author's choice of language was poor. I concur with many of the reviewers who say that the poems consist of a series of bigoted rants. It seems to me that Kim is using poetry merely as a tool to make his extreme political views seem more palatable.The content can only be described as utter dross. Some of the poems were rather weird and others were downright offensive (anti-Semitic and racist). This poetry collection should be given a miss.
