Max Ehrmann and Marc Tauss, Desiderata: Words for Life (Scholastic, 2009)
Photographer Tauss takes poet Ehrmann's painfully waterlogged chestnut, which I have to admit I'd never read all the way through, and pairs pieces of it with different photographs. There are times when Tauss is dead-on here, and I have to admit that when I saw the first photograph (an early-morning street scene; no moving cars, but parking spaces at the sides of the road are choked with parked, empty cars) I had high hopes for this one. They were quickly readjusted, though, as the next few pictures were the expected smarmy crap that goes with Ehrmann's saccharine, unsubtle words. While there were a couple more pleasant surprises to be had here, the quality isn't consistent enough to recommend the book unless you're already a huge fan of the poem. **
