There is a themed section of poems at the end of the books called "In Memoriam." How would this best be represented? I'm thinking that the non-memorial poems go into the main poetry file (which I will name magnolia-leaves.xhtml) and the memorial poems will go into another file, in-memoriam.xhtml. There will need to be some sort of part-1.xhtml file with the In Memoriam heading, and the <article>s in in-memorial.xhtml will have to have part-1 as their data parent. Does that make sense?

[Lukas Bystricky]

I don't have a strong opinion, but I would say having part-1.xhtml is a bit of an overkill. Having just the two files (magnolia-leaves, in-memoriam) looks a bit more clean to me, and would result in the same layout just without a page break after the the title if I understand correctly.

Ok, I will go with that. I might be able to do something with the CSS anyways.

I propose this cover which I just added to the art database: https://standardebooks.org/artworks/martin-johnson-heade/giant-magnolias-on-a-blue-velvet-cloth
