ABOUT THE BOOK/
BLURB
Carrots and Other Poems is one man’s quiet reflections on the places and people in his life – of his native Minnesota in the United States where he grew up, of New England and Massachusetts where he built his career, and of Singapore, where he currently lives and works. David Fedo muses on a wide variety of subjects in his poems, from family, to religion, to literature and of life and its complexities in between. On every page, this wise, well-worn soul shares his thoughts on life – that ineffable, eventful adventure – and joyfully celebrates its extraordinary mysteries with us.
