The journal's collection of stories about film, music, and family reflect the multifaceted nature of nonfiction.

I just received the Spring 2020 issue of Under the Gum Tree in the mail. It's a banquet for the eyes, with art work, photography and productio nvalues to rival any art journal. Then there are the true stories, windows into others' lives and experiences, views and slants on life, that never fail to broaden, enlighten, enrich and inform. And it's published in my hometown, Sacramento, the sprinkles on a perfect vanilla, lemon-curd cupcake with butter cream frosting.
