Tony Andronaco: My life; my poetry

Hello, I’m Tony. I am an adult survivor of severe physical and physiological abuse at the hands of my father. Growing up, and even now, writing poetry was a way for me to escape the pain, to be “heard” when there was no one actually listening. I have come a long way in life, but still have a way to go as it relates to intimate relationships. I decided to share my story and my poetry in hopes that it will help me heal and move on. And, who knows, maybe it will help someone in a similar situation dealing with childhood trauma. Best to you all!

September, 2025 Update: All my poems are now private as I will be publishing them in a chapbook soon. If you would like information about purchasing the book please email me here. Thank you!!
