FURTHER CONFESSIONS OF A SMALL PRESS RACKETEER is a continuation of the columns and essays that comprised Stuart's 2005 release, \u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Small Press Racketeer\u003c\/em\u003e. Again, equal parts literary memoir, reckless tirade, and unsolicited advice for the aspiring writer, FURTHER CONFESSIONS is drawn largely from Stuart Ross's notorious \"Hunkamooga\" column, his blog entries, essays for \u003cem\u003esubTerrain\u003c\/em\u003e magazine and other online venues. We bring them together here in their collected brilliance: alternately snarky, sincere, touching, honest, and always opinionated, Stuart's \"confessions\" are essential reading for any literary confessional. This volume offers its readers a roller-coaster journey into the mind of one of Canada's most committed small press activists. \u003cp\u003ePraise for Stuart Ross:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"One of North America's most active and fiercely independent literary populists.\"—\u003cem\u003eAnother Chicago Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If Stuart Ross was living and working in the United States, and writing the exact same poetry he does now he would be rich and famous.
