  <about><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Stuart Ross published his first literary pamphlet on the photocopier in his dad’s office one night in 1979. Through the 1980s, he stood on Toronto’s Yonge Street wearing signs like “Writer Going To Hell: Buy My Books,” selling over 7,000 poetry and fiction chapbooks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   A tireless literary press activist, he is the co-founder of the Toronto Small Press Book Fair and now a founding member of the Meet the Presses collective, Poetry Editor at Mansfield Press, and Fiction &amp; Poetry Editor at &lt;i&gt;This Magazine&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Stuart has edited several small literary magazines, including &lt;i&gt;Mondo Hunkamooga: A Journal of Small Press Stuff&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Syd &amp; Shirley&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Who Torched Rancho Diablo?&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Peter O’Toole: A Magazine of One-Line Poems&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   He is the author of two collaborative novels, two collections of stories, and six full-length poetry books. He has also published a collection of essays, &lt;i&gt;Confessions of a Small Press Racketeer&lt;/i&gt; (Anvil Press), and edited the anthology &lt;i&gt;Surreal Estate: 13 Canadian Poets Under the Influence&lt;/i&gt; (The Mercury Press).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Stuart has taught writing workshops across Canada and works one-on-one as a writing coach. He lives in Toronto. This spring, Freehand Books released his first short-story collection in more than a decade, &lt;i&gt;Buying Cigarettes for the Dog&lt;/i&gt;.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Robin Wood, the New York Poets, Jerry Lewis, French fries, Opal Louis Nations, Randy Newman]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Toronto</hometown>  <born_at>07/18/1959</born_at>
