Selected Poems
Invitation is the final poem in Lynore's latest book, More Than a Backward Glance.
A celebration of hope, the poem is illustrated by Lynore's granddaughter Natalie Grover and includes images from throughout the book, and from throughout Lynore's childhood.
Invitation was read at the memorial service for Lynore's granddaughter, Eliza Lynore Banchoff Grover, on October 30, 2023.
"I wrote Daughter around 2005, after my six granddaughters had been born, and I experienced this passage of cells down through time as an eternal song."
Daughter appears in Lynore's 2009 book of poems, Past Tense and Parts of Speech on Beech Street.
