An "ode"

[Wilson Gray]

A reviewer in yesterday's Boston Globe writes:

"... a he-said, she-said dialogue ... called, ... _in ode to_ Chekhov,
"He and She."

I'd write, "in honor of," "in homage to," "as an hommage to," but
usage may have changed since the last time that I had to write other
than to a friend or a sibling.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
