As I Tread On
Poetry cannot ward off storms, but it can hold your hand and be your guiding light as you sail through one storm at a time.
From a survivor of childhood trauma and life-shattering heartbreaks comes an anthology of poetry and prose that is all about helping you find the light in the dark.
As I Tread On narrates the journey of a man through emotional emptiness and isolation, ironically, in a world boasting of connectivity at the fingertips. His story is the story of many of us, fighting a grotesque battle against depression, heartbreaks, and endless disappointments. Still, he grinds against the pain and we follow him on his quest to find inner peace by clinging on to the world of words, imageries, and metaphors, and ultimately, to his healing through poetry.
The book is divided into three acts dedicated to the three stages of his
A Beginning
The Road
The Forever
A blend of free verse, sonnets, and narrative poetry with interwoven personal essays to suit your every mood and make you feel whole again.

A new dawn,
A new me ‒
At the Horizon,
And I tread on…

Innovative, refreshing.
I originally won this read through GoodReads, and I am absolutely thrilled that I did. Atri has a way of painting a world before your eyes. His pain, a breathe of common air. A place where we’ve all been. A hurt we’ve all welcomed. His love, passionate. .
A read I would recommend to all poetry lovers.
