Journal of Ugly Sites and Other Journals

Stacy Szymaszek's free-range attention is fixed on what is just underfoot and just in the line of sight: the replete objects of homely desire, homely repulsion. Beloved dying dog, worthy work, relational obligation, self-entertainment, an anxious curative. In the tradition of the New York School of dailiness and relative effervescence, this work brings a timely recasting of contemporary attachments.
