Numinosity.- Book Review

April 14, 2026

Written by Shannon Maes


I thoroughly enjoyed reading Numinosity. The poems and prose are held tenderly together by the imperative to be deeply feeling, aware and faithful stewards of nature. Conservation is both an ethic to live by and for many of us also a set of practices baked into our work and daily life. It’s important to know such a constant companion in multiple ways and from different perspectives so we can chart our own course through sometimes rocky, challenging and unknown territory with resilience and conviction. Reading Robert Perschel’s writing will help us remember why we choose this path.
