From 2764ce38ff89667fc4073fb66cdd634caaffd613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Case Duckworth Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:01:16 -0700 Subject: Fix #9 - ekphrastisize some poems For ekphrastic articles, add `ekphrastic` node to YAML metadata. This node includes subnodes `image`, `title`, `alt`, `link`, and `class`. `image` provides a link to the local image--just include the file name with the extension, not the folder (all images should be in /img/.) `title` provides the title of the image, and the alt-text, if there is no `alt` node. `alt`, if it exists, provides the alt text for the image. `link`, if present, wraps the image in an `` tag--it should point to the source web page of the ekphrastic image. `class`, if present, sets the class(es) for the image, for styling. In this commit, I've set `ekphrastic` on the four articles that have them so far: 'The Death Zone,' 'AMBER alert,' 'The moon is gone,' and 'Man.' I've also updated .template.html with the changes, and updated README.md to reflect the changes in YAML structure. --- about-the-author.html | 83 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) (limited to 'about-the-author.html') diff --git a/about-the-author.html b/about-the-author.html index 816f2db..1c4bb52 100644 --- a/about-the-author.html +++ b/about-the-author.html @@ -42,48 +42,47 @@ -

He was born on a few separate occasionsgreen traffic lights at night
There was the day of his conception
a wintery affair saved for those involved		a TV in front of a dumpster
The day he wriggled forth
from the dark tunnel of nothing
his mother’s womb		surprise photo of you at Walgreen’s
The founding of his little city
deep inside by the small builders
alien as they were and still
somehow intimately familiar		a pink dress in the alley behind your house
Like any city it had its ups
and downs the fever of 1994
was especially devastating
but they were a hardy folk
not much given to flight		me buying a Reese’s peanut butter cup for a child
[whose family couldn’t afford it]
in front of me in line at Safeway
As all things must pass the
little city began slowly to decay
the old ones claimed the young
had no respect for culture anymore		trees at night their skeletons
revealed by a camera flash
They began to die off slowly
more quickly than being born
the end was coming closer		two earthworms on pavement after a rain
As the last breath was made
the last accounts closed in the city		keys tacked to a sign in Buffalo Park
It was given over to other buildersman flipping a four-wheeler and walking it off
