Gaskin’s new book, A Red Knock-Knocking Like a Heart (LSU Press, 2026) came out in February. It contains “21 Weeks” alongside explorations of the struggles, triumphs, and monotony of motherhood. Parents of neurodivergent children and those who have lost a child to miscarriage will find these topics treated with care, craft, and a gritty honesty. I count myself among both groups, and felt a companionship in these poems.
