Paul Cézanne and the Numinous Power of the Real William H. Poteat

This book is an echo chamber, fraught with strong voices out of regard for a common program, accompanied by an invitation to those readers assiduous in search of fresh provocations. The provocative voice of William H. Poteat populates the echo chambers of his students and auditors from their first meetings to postmortem recollections in their own classrooms and studies. It is cunningly appropriate these essays were first uttered in the voices of the authors in a conference at Yale Divinity School, called to celebrate the establishment of the Poteat Archive. For the readers of these essays it is a bonus to have reprinted an essay by Poteat which offers them an exhibition of his work in its prime as well as providing the readers an opportunity to reappraise the essays in this collection in the immediate vicinity of “Paul Cezanne and the Numinous Power of the Real."
