The Indignity of Knowing: Perspectives in Verse of a Military Life

From her lived experiences as the daughter of a U.S. soldier, Special Forces wife, and mother of a son in the military, Amber Albritton employs sound and lyricism in this hybrid narrative of poems and vignettes that examines the concept of ticker-tape patriotism and sheds light on the real lives of military families. From Albritton's special perspective, The Indignity of Knowing provides a testament of her multi-generational family for whom military service has become an ordained vocation.
