Less than a year old, Persimmon
Tree is attracting thousands of readers of all ages from 40 countries and throughout North America. It can be found
online at www.persimmontree.org.
Persimmon Tree showcases an impressive variety of literature and art by women over 60, many still working well into
their 80s and 90s. Many of the writers and artists are well-known: Marilyn French, Ruth Stone, Grace Paley, E.M.
Broner, Paula Gunn Allen, Jane Lazarre, Faith Ringgold, and Nicole Hollander. Others are lesser known, while some
are newly developing their craft in their later years. All of them are at the height of their creative powers, and all of them
express the shared, though diverse experiences of aging women, from late middle age to late old age.
“Persimmon Tree is intended to fill a niche that has been neglected by contemporary publishing, whether in print or
online,” said Nan Gefen, the magazine’s founding editor and publisher. “There is a growing body of work by male
writers and artists who are entering or well into old age. But the comparable body of work by aging women is much
smaller and mostly limited to a few already well-known writers and artists,” Gefen explained. “Women are creating, but
they are not getting the exposure they deserve.”
Persimmon Tree is published in association with Mills College in Oakland, CA.

The Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival is the largest poetry event in North America.
Held biennially since 1986, the Festival is a celebration of poetry that immerses
participants in four days of readings, conversations and performances featuring
an international array of poets – winners of the most prestigious literary
prizes – and other artists including storytellers and musicians.

Begun in 1987 with a primary emphasis on helping teachers bring poetry to high
