	Joy Harjo is a poet, musician, playwright, and author. She served as the 23rd United States Poet Laureate and has since been reappointed twice. She has been a Chancellor of the American Academy of Poets since 2019, is Board Chair of the Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, and directs For Girls Becoming–an arts mentorship program for young Mvskoke women. She earned her M.F.A. in creative writing from the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa in 1978. Harjo (Mvskoke) was the first Native American Poet Laureate. About Harjo, American Academy of Poets Chancellor Alicia Ostiker has written, "… Harjo has worked to expand our American language, culture, and soul…Harjo is rooted simultaneously in the natural world, in earth—especially the landscape of the American southwest—and in the spirit world. Aided by these redemptive forces of nature and spirit, incorporating native traditions of prayer and myth into a powerfully contemporary idiom, her visionary justice-seeking art transforms personal and collective bitterness to beauty, fragmentation to wholeness, and trauma to healing." Also a performer, Harjo plays saxophone and flutes with the Arrow Dynamics Band and solo, and previously with the band Poetic Justice. She has appeared on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, in venues across the U.S. and internationally, and has released seven award-winning albums. Harjo's bibliography is extensive. Books of poetry include: The Last Song (1975), What Moon Drove Me to This? (1979), She Had Some Horses (1983), Secrets from the Center of the World (1989), In Mad Love and War (1990), The Woman Who Fell From the Sky (1994), A Map to the Next World: Poems (2000), How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems (2002), Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings (2015), and the highly acclaimed An American Sunrise (2019). Her prose includes: The Spiral of Memory: Interviews (Poets on Poetry) (1995), For a Girl Becoming (2009), Soul Talk, Soul Language: Conversations with Joy Harjo (2011), and Crazy Brave (2012). Plays include: Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light: A Play by Joy Harjo and a Circle of Responses (2019). She has received numerous awards and honors including the American Book Award, the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Award, the Ruth Lily Prize for Lifetime Achievement, the Poetry Foundation's Wallace Stevens Award, the Jackson Poetry Prize, the PEN Open Book Award, the American Indian Distinguished Achievement in the Arts Award, the Josephine Miles Poetry Award, the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award, the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the William Carlos Williams Award, the Native Writers Circle of the Americas Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2009 Native American Music Award (NAMMY) for Best Female Artist, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Tulsa Artist Fellowship.

	Robert Harris (1731?–9 January 1815) was a physician and apothecary, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1768 by way of his election to the Medical Society in 1766. The details of Harris’s early life sharpen with his graduation from the College of New Jersey in 1753, graduating alongside APS member Joseph Shippen, Jr. Afterwards, Harris returned to study medicine and received his master’s degree in 1759. After graduating, he married Hannah Gibb, the daughter of a wealthy ship captain, and it was her family fortune that supported Harris as he rotated through business partners at the Golden Pestle, his apothecary shop on Second Street. When not at work, Harris busied himself by joining institutions throughout the city including the Medical Society of Philadelphia, the Presbyterian Church, and serving as a trustee for his alma mater for 54 years. When the American Revolution began, Harris opened a powder mill outside of Philadelphia followed by opening a saltworks at Cape May, New Jersey: both met with minimal success. After the war, he returned to Philadelphia in 1782 where he attended to various intellectual and social interests such as following plans to launch a hot air balloon and joining the College of Physicians in 1787 as a fellow. He died in 1815 after a lingering illness.
