Desiderata is a prose poem that was written by Max Ehrmann in 1972 for contemplation and mindfulness practice.

Desiderata is a plural noun, with the singular form desideratum,meaning “things wanted or needed.”

Inspired by the calm pace of the poem and its emotional effects, I created this illustration book to convey the mood of this beautiful poem.
