Hello all, I hope you are well. I on the other hand, your lead editor, am not well. I recently got diagnosed with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. It was constantly missed by doctors and now the infection has spread quite severely, impacting several organs and leaving permanent scarring of tissue. It seems resistant to antibiotics. As such, maintaining GLJ is proving too difficult. I simply cannot seem to keep up with it. As of today GLJ is on hiatus. I do not know for how long. The site will remain up as I remain hopeful that my circumstances and health will change in the future.

In summary all submissions have been suspended. For all who have submitted to GLJ, an email will be in your inbox, with apologies. Your poems are all beautiful. Don’t give up! I truly believe you will all get published one day. Keep working.

It has been a great privilege running GLJ. Hopefully in the future I will be able to take up this mantle again. As for my personal writing, larkspurhorne.net will certainly be coming out of retirement during this time. You can also follow me at RenwickBerchild.com.

As always, I sign off. Stay Brave. Stay Brave. Thank you.
