More than half way through 2009, this website is in yet another transitional stage as our web-master Dawn Mancer copes with the intricacies of loading the last two series of interviews in the Video section. Meanwhile the complete first 2009 series of the BBC Radio 4 "A Point of View" programme is up and running permanently in the Audio section, with accompanying texts. So there are now a full fifty of the broadcasts available here. In the Text section, new material is being added all the time, and my long-cherished project for adding pictures to the work of the Guest Poets is now complete.
 
With more than 1,000 pages, this website gets bigger by the month. Feel free to wander, perhaps starting with NEW, which gives a quick guide to the latest postings, and thus a history of how the site grows. For other details concerning the site’s evolution over the past five years, including the site’s manifesto and previous homepages, see the About section, which also now includes the full text of a gratifying acknowledgment from the Good Web Guide.

The Good Web Guide Reviews This Site

 Clivejames.com is a generous and wonderful delight: this is the future for cultural multi-media websites... it ought to be a spur to an artistic renaissance on the internet... beautifully designed... In Audio there are fascinating dialogues. The (Video) archive  a treasurehouse of wit and insight.

 

“Humanity will surpass the first dirigibles as it has surpassed the first locomotives. It will surpass M. Santos-Dumont as it has surpassed Stephenson. After telephotography it will continually invent graphies and scopes and phones, all of which will be tele and one will be able to go around the earth in less than no time. But it will always be only the temporal earth. And it will even be possible to burrow inside the earth and pierce it through as I do this ball of clay. But it will always be the carnal earth.”

Charles Péguy in 1907
