Arlo Lorenz in a survivor, thriver, poet and the Author of Empath to Self Love. Arlo has produced a lifetime of writing, starting with poetry that helped him through a childhood disability, depression and subsequent dependency.  Arlo survived, learned the hard way, and earned sobriety over self-induced and medical dependency, pulling himself up through swimming as an endurance athlete.  His story is featured within his Autobiography Saved with Honu. Upon his love of writing he’s also published five children’s books on a ‘buy one give one’ model with a goal of defeating illiteracy for at risk youth. In an effort to better himself and secure the skills and ability to write and survive, Arlo earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Administration with an emphasis in Human Resources, and founded FeltIt InMyHeart Press. Arlo self describes his writing as; “I write what I need to hear, regardless of if I’m ready to realize the message myself.  This is the foundation of my poetry, and has become the basis of my conversational writing style”.
