The Book of Queer Mormon Joy
•
Signature Books
Marketing specialist Beth Brumer-Reeve is joined by Kerry Spencer Pray, editor and one of more than thirty essayists in The Book of Queer Mormon Joy, just released by Signature Books. In this discussion, Kerry addresses how this book came to life, the importance of focusing on joy in the queer community, and why everyone should read it.
Kerry Spencer Pray teaches writing at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, Maryland. Mormon by birth, she taught at Brigham Young University for fourteen years and spent nearly twenty years in a mixed orientation marriage. She lives with and co-parents with her wife and gay ex-husband, putting her nonnuclear family in the category of a polycule. You can follow her on X @swilua and on Instagram @swilua_.
