The Desiderata of Love by Max Ehrmann

The Desiderata of Love by Max Ehrmann, 64 pages

I am not sure what to say about this book.  I certainly did not care for this collection of poems.  This is a book of 24 love poems.  The first couple poems contained words like dead and death.  Max Ehrmann is known for writing the Desiderata of Happiness which is contained in the first few pages of this book. I highly recommend giving that a read, which only takes about five minutes. But, I found nothing memorable about any of these love poems, which left me disappointed.

  1. I saw "64 pages" and thought I'd give it a read to see what you meant, but I got too bored by about the 4th poem :) I'll take your recommendation and look at the other!
