An animated William Barnes reads his poem

Posted on 30 June 2010 Posted in Dorset 1 Comment
High Street West, Dorchester - statue of William Barnes

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.
