This month\u2019s featured artist is <strong>Mark Teaford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Teaford is a biological anthropologist and anatomist who\u2019s taught anatomy to medical students, and anatomy and biological anthropology to undergraduates, for over 40 years. He believes in giving back to his profession, so he\u2019s served on editorial boards for scientific journals, reviewed research proposals for funding agencies, and gives talks to local schools and libraries. When he\u2019s not teaching, he enjoys doing research on teeth, fossils, and primates, and he derives great pleasure from photography and poetry. His poems have been published in numerous journals \u2013 but he\u2019s never quite organized enough, or confident enough, to submit them for contests! His first collection of photography and poems, <i>Staring at the Midnight Sky<\/i>, was published by Red Moon Press in 2020.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1772494555519-30f00acb-5685-0&#8243; include=&#8221;71030,71031,71032,71033,71069,71034,71035,71036,71037,71038,71039,71041,71042,71044,71045,71046,71047,71048,71049,71050,71051,71052,71053,71054,71055,71057,71058,72617,72618&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark combines his science background with a keen appreciation for photography to create his unique approach to photo haiku . . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1748],"tags":[1834,2518,96],"post_series":[],"class_list":["post-70677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-haiga-galleries","tag-haiga-galleries","tag-mark-teaford","tag-the-haiku-foundation","entry","no-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
