About Desiderata
Desiderata is an artist's book by the French musician and singer-songwriter Lizzy Mercier Descloux, originally self-published in Paris in 1977 and reissued in facsimile with an English translation in 2022 and again, in an expanded edition with a foreword by Patti Smith, in 2025. The book contains twenty-five poems Mercier Descloux wrote during her first trip to New York City in the winter of 1975, interleaved with drawings, collages, handwritten notes, and photographs.
