How to Be Perfect: An Illustrated Guide

Human perfection, attainable in 99 easy steps in this quirky illustrated version of Padgett’s most beloved poem, now in a stand alone edition. “Make eye contact with a tree.” “Do not practice cannibalism.” “Wear comfortable shoes.” “Sing, every once in a while.” “In later life, become a mystic.” Offbeat, warm, and funny, Ron Padgett’s prescriptions for human perfection springs to life in Jason Novak’s cartoons–a delightful match-up of sensibilities. And remember: “Don’t give advice.”
