In her most recent book, she said, she was interested in things that can go on without her \u2014 the book has four sections, each named for a season.<\/p>\n
The collection is dedicated to her stepfather, Brady T. Brady, who is one of her early readers, along with a small group of poets including Jennifer L. Knox and Matthew Zapruder. Brady went from high school to fighting in the infantry in Vietnam, and never studied poetry. But his guidance of her writing has been valuable since she was a child, Lim\u00f3n said. Once, when she was 15, she called him at work to read a poem she\u2019d written.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started reading it in this very poetic voice, and he was like: \u2018Wait, no,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201c\u2018Just read it to me like you\u2019re telling me something.\u2019 And I read it that way, in my natural voice, and then he could hear it.<\/p>\n
