Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayers of an Abstract Reality is a book of poems about nature, abstract reality, and beliefs of the meaning of life. These rhythmic and vivid poems transport the reader to a time long ago and back to the present as the reader moves through apocalyptic events, winter storms, deep forests, and dark alleys with the author. Each poem is inspired by its own experience as the author strives to understand her own purpose and to live a life that respects humanity. Nature has a lot to say if only one can be quiet and listen. Amaria Crocoll spent the first twenty-one years of her life in upstate New York, keeping poetry journals since she could write at age five. She loves to read her poetry at open mic's and has performed in Mt. Shasta, California, and Albany, New York. She lives off-the-grid on the eastern slopes of Mt. Shasta at 4,600 feet. Amaria works as an archaeologist and spends most of her time outdoors in all weather conditions. She finds her inspiration mostly from nature and the questions all people ask themselves about the meaning of life.
