Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. "Confessions of a Small Press Racketeer" is equal parts literary memoir, advice for the emerging writer, and reckless tirade. Ross has been active in the Canadian literary underground for a quarter of a century: he's sold thousands of his books in the streets, published and edited magazines, trained insurgents in his Poetry Boot Camps, and started Canada's first Small Press Book Fair. Where the media focuses only on the glamorous literary lives of its few superstars, Ross gives us a glimpse into How Writers Really Live. In "Confessions," he declares himself the King of Poetry, explores his floundering Jewish identity, wanders into the best bookstore in Canada, offers a crash course in avoiding writing, pisses off his publishers, runs a renegade Canada booth at the International Book Fair in Managua, and begs egomaniacal young writers to stop bugging the hell out of him. Many of these essays are culled from Ross's bimonthly "e;Hunkamooga"e; column in "Word: Toronto's Literary Calendar." Others are written specifically for this collection." Stuart Ross is a poet, fiction writer, and essayist. He is the author of about a dozen books and countless chapbooks. His story collection Buying Cigarettes for the Dog won the 2010 ReLit Award for Short Fiction. Stuart is the fiction and poetry editor for This Magazine, a regular columnist for subTerrain, and has his own imprint, "a stuart ross book," at Mansfield Press. He was the 2010 Writer in Residence at Queen's University, and has led writing workshops across the country. After half a century in Toronto, Stuart moved to Cobourg, Ontario, in 2009. You Exist. Details Follow. is his seventh full-length poetry collection.".

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - STICKS AND STONES NEVER BROKE ANY OF JESSE¿S BONES, BUT NAMES REALLY, REALLY HURT HIM. Jesse is only thirteen years old, yet he cannot help but feel that he is much older. With each passing year, Jesse¿s life gets tougher and tougher. It seems the older he gets, the more difficult growing up becomes. He¿s picked on because of his acne, his Attention Deficit Disorder and because he can¿t keep up with the latest styles and trends. He dreams of flying planes¿until he sees planes used as weapons of mass destruction in New York City. War is declared on the other side of the world, but the bullies take the president¿s words for their own: ¿Yoüre either with us or yoüre against us!¿ Jesse can only wonder when a coalition of forces will come and rescue him. Like most victims, Jesse settles into a routine of avoidance and escape. That is, until high school begins and he meets Mr. Beckwith and the members of his poetry group. Mr. Beckwith is the first adult that Jesse feels a connection with, and the students of his poetry group seem to inspire him and fill him with hope after every reading. But Jesse soon learns that Mr. Beckwith and he have something in common¿they are both casualties of a war that looks to have no end. It¿s not long before Jesse sees that adults are too busy acting like children to notice what is happening to their own children. He begins to wonder what all the fuss is about growing up, because growing up is nothing like what Jesse had been promised. '.some deft and evocative writing.' -Stuart Ross, author of Buying Cigarettes for the Dog. ¿I heard my childhood echoed in these pages many times.¿ -Laura Shea, student.
