An animated William Barnes reads his poem

I came across this on YouTube.  Jim Clark takes pictures of long dead poets and audio recordings of their poems and marries them together to give the impression of the poet reading his poem.

Here he presents Dorset’s very own William Barnes performing The Humstrum.

A change of direction!

June 23rd, 2010 by Knobby No comments »

Ok, so the idea of using The Dorset Knob website as a forum where Dorset folks could chat didn’t take off. We got very few genuine posts and lots of spam that had to be weeded out.

It’s time to move on. Here is the all new Dorset Knob website.

I’m not sure what it will turn out to be, it’s very much a suck it and see project at the moment. Please come back and take another look soon.
