Just out from Fence Books, Journal of Ugly Sites & Other Journals was selected by Brenda Hillman for the Ottoline Prize and collects notes from Szymaszek’s journals, locally sourced from her life in Brooklyn and the East Village.
Of her work, the poet Etel Adnan writes that “each poem is what I am looking for: a resonance with a particular location, an intelligence unafraid of its humanity, a sort of desperate adequacy with the people or objects that Szymaszek encounters.”
