Rare Wildflowers of Kentucky
(2)I recently discovered that the University Press of Kentucky has done a series of video podcasts, Darkhorse, featuring their various authors.
I met a young man from the Press, Mack McCormick, last Friday night at Jim Tomlinson’s reading who said they have hired a very talented media artist named Siobhan Byrns. Ms. Byrsn has redesigned their website and instituted the video series.
I will say that the web design seems much improved to me and these videos are a great addition.
The Darkhorse video I’ve embedded here features Thomas Barnes, author of Rare Wildflowers of Kentucky, on a tour through the Red River Gorge. It’s a beautiful film but sad because Barnes predicts that global warming will take away what is left of Kentucky’s mixed hardwood forests and we will be left with something more like Georgia.
Watch it.

The publicity manager for Univ. Press of KY you met is Mack McCormick, and I’m afraid I don’t remember the person who created the videos for UPK books. I’ll e-mail Mack and ask.

Thanks, JimT. I sure do hope they decide to do one of those podcasts featuring you.
