This collection of personal essays and short fiction investigates a post-9/11 America locked in forever war. Centered upon the
American veteran and the veteran family experience, Anchor & Knife showcases wide-ranging narratives that challenge conventional
models of war literature by combining fiction and creative nonfiction genres into a single work as well as expanding the aperture of
battle-scene focus to a much larger, holistic investigation of individuals searching for peace while wrestling with their culpability in
violence. As important, this collection explores the close proximity of trauma, not only through the lens of war, but also in family,
religion, sex, and popular American culture. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
