Author note

I'm still pondering motherhood but this time through the lens of grief due to experiencing infant loss and the mental health challenges that have come with learning how to be a neuro-affirming parent to a neurodivergent child.

— Kate Gaskin

A Red Knock-Knocking like a Heart chronicles a mother's harrowing journey through infant loss and a disastrous hospital birth, while also exploring the joyful complexities of raising a neurodivergent child. Using image and sound derived from the beauty of the natural world, Kate Gaskin's poems sift through grief while tapping into the sublime state that underlies loss and love.
