April 28: Ken Stewart
The Smell of Blood is a memoir in poetry form of Stewart's experiences overseas—he discusses in honest, visceral language the immediate experience of watching friends die, as well as his later reactions to the political and social ramifications of sending an entire generation of men off to fight a needless battle. Stewart is donating all proceeds from the book to Veterans for Peace.
