Description

Within the pages of Points of Tangency, a sequence of brilliant personal essays, Scott Russell Morris, a closeted queer Mormon, tells the story of meeting and then marrying his now wife. His story, told with grace, compassion, and dexterity, forges the framework of a life lived, and lives living together, in our mysterious and dynamic present.

Critical Reviews

-Patricia Colleen Murphy, author of Bully Love


"Morris's essays move the way our innermost thoughts do, with a catchy sense of discovery, recovery, and delight."

-Eric Lemay, author of Remember Me


"Big hearted and quietly humorous. This book is a gift."

-Sarah Viren, author of To Name the Bigger Lie

-Micah Muldowney, author of Q-Drive and Other Poems
